Freak the Mighty is by Rodman Philbrick. Max's life is a mess. He is clumsy, learning-disabled, and his father is in prison for murdering his mother. Kevin is small and crippled, but very smart. Kevin uses his brains to protect Max, and Max "loans" Kevin his legs. After Kevin's death, Max is left struggling with the memories of their extraordinary friendship. An amazing story of friendship, cruelty, and loss.
