Riassunto

An unexpected friendship leads to a life-changing story in this timeless classic by Newbery Honor author Rodman Philbrick.

"I never had a brain until Freak came along..."

That's what Max thought. All his life he'd been called stupid. Dumb. Slow. It didn't help that his body seemed to be growing faster than his mind. It didn't help that people were afraid of him. So Max learned how to be alone. At least until Freak came along.

Freak was weird, too. He had a little body -- and a really big brain. Together Max and Freak were unstoppable.

Together, they were Freak the Mighty.

It has been over twenty years -- and more than four million copies, eight foreign editions, and a popular feature film -- since the world was introduced to this powerful story of a unique friendship between a troubled boy and an unexpected friend who proves that courage comes in all sizes.

Freak the Mighty is part of the Scholastic Gold line, which features award-winning and beloved novels. Includes exclusive bonus content!
