Freak the Mighty

Maxwell Kane is a big, quiet boy who has all but given up on himself — until Kevin, a brilliant, fiercely funny kid whose body is stopped by a rare condition and who walks on braces and crutches, moves in next door. When Max hoists Kevin onto his shoulders, the two become “Freak the Mighty”: Max’s strength and Kevin’s dazzling mind joined into one unstoppable hero, striding off on King-Arthur-style quests through their neighborhood. Their friendship carries Max through a frightening reckoning with his own violent father and teaches him, at last, that he is neither dumb nor worthless. When tragedy comes, Kevin’s final gift — a blank book and the urging to “write it down” — gives Max the words to tell their story. Rodman Philbrick’s unforgettable modern classic is a moving tale of friendship, courage, and the different kinds of strength. These 8 Part workbooks cover the full novel, with vocabulary, comprehension, literary analysis, Think Deeper reasoning, SAT® & TOEFL®-style practice, and writing, all built on real-world CLIL background.
