(2) 4-6 Max is learning-disabled and unusually large for his age; brilliant Kevin's birth defect prevents him from growing. Together the two become "Freak the Mighty," pooling their brains and brawn to conquer their world. The harrowing events of Max's childhood are revealed gradually, as he is able to face them. This twentieth-anniversary edition includes excerpts from Philbrick's Listening to Kids in America.
