"I quickly found myself rooting for Max and Kevin. The unlikely friendship they form as they face adversity is both humorous and moving. This story made me laugh and-- no easy feat -- straight up sob." - Nic C.

This was such a cute book. I loved it. Two unlikely friends have a summer filled with adventure. Lots of adventures and quests fill both Max and Freak's summer. The summer ends with the most life-like adventure of all when the past…

This book can be described as a slow wave of emotion. We first get a look into the lives of the two main characters and establish a connection. Freak is a small boy who is disabled, but anything from weak. The main character is a tall,…

This is probably my all time favourite book; I honestly could not say how many times I’ve read it. It has so many little lessons, and truly teaches one not to judge a book by its cover. I would highly suggest that everyone add this to the…

This tale of unlikely friendship is uplifting without being unbelievable or cheesy.

One of my all time favorite children's books, great for adults as well. Middle school is hard enough, but when you have a disability to boot, life gets pretty rough. Amazing story of how two such teenage boys combine their strengths to…

Really good book. As good as the movie. Highly recommend, for teens and up. I am a grandmother and I hope I can get my grandsons to read it. It does have a sad ending, but life is not all happy, happy, happy. Lots of learning happens.

I liked Freak the Mighty because it was about one guy who's 8 Ft and Freak who's 2 Ft. The ending was sucky.

Freak is like the imaginary friend all of us wished we had. Comfort when times get tough, support in bad decisions, (SPOILER ALERT) and he even got the courage to defend max when his dad nearly killed him. This is a touching story with…

This was a great book! It was suspenseful and well written. I loved the friendship that is portrayed between the two friends in the story. There is a quote " You don't find many friends like Freak." It's true some people never find a…
