Freak the Mighty
by Rodman Philbrick

Kiddnappings, treasure hunts, dragon slayings, and rescues; you can find these and much more in Rodman Philbrick's book Freak the Mighty. Maxwell is just a big dumb kid that everyone teases until Freak comes along. Two handicapped boys, one that's crippled and another with brain problems, become best friends and conquer dragons, look for buried treasure all through their imaginations. When the real test to their braveness comes they don't fail that either. This book has suspense, excitement, sadness and true friendship in it. You don't know what you're missing if you don't read it!
