Welcome to Freak the Mighty

"A brilliant, emotionally-charged novel about two boys. One, Maxwell Kane, is a timid soul stuck in the body of a teenage giant with size 14 shoes. Haunted by a dark secret in his past, he hides out in his basement room, avoiding the world. But when a new kid moves in next door Max's life changes forever. The two outcasts from the 'normal' world, pair up to create one formidable human force known as "Freak the Mighty." "Memorable and luminous...different and very special." From author Rodman Philbrick
