"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 two 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.

The book is unclear what his specific disability is, however it is clear that he struggles with reading and he has attended the "LD class" for many years. There is a boy across the street that just moved in named Kevin that has a physical disability, but he is very intelligent. He is the same age that Max is. These two boys become great friends, and together they call themselves "Freak the Mighty." Throughout the book the boys help each other with their disabilities and they help each other through many different struggles. Max puts Kevin on his shoulders a lot so that he can see and get from place to place. Kevin helps Max with his school work, and Max is eventually put into the regular education class full time. "Freak the Mighty" have a lot of exciting adventures together, and they help each other through many struggles.This book does a great job of explaining the challenges that students with disabilities can face. The students are put down and called names in this book by people in society and in school because of their disabilities. This is something that many students with disabilities do face. It is written from the point of view of Max, and it shows that he knows and understands a lot more than people give him credit for, even though he can't read very well. Even though this book shows how the students are put down, it does a great job of showing that this is wrong. I think this is a book that many students, those with disabilities as well as those without disabilities, can relate to.I feel that this book can be used in my classroom in a couple of different ways. I am a seventh grade learning support teacher. I think that this would be a great read-aloud book to use in my classroom as well as a great book for students to read. It is a very exciting and entertaining book that is hard to put down. I think the students would love to hear this book. The book is written in first person. It is an entertaining book to read. After the students have read or heard the book, I would then have the students compare their experiences in school to the characters' experiences in school. The boys in this book have a very exciting eighth grade year. It also shows how many students with reading disabilities and physical disabilities can be put down. I don't necessarily agree with how these students are treated in the book however I feel it does a great job of showing how disrespectful that can be. We can then have a discussion of what we can do as a school to make the environment better for all students. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ lovely book, amazing friendship *by on Reviewed in the United States July 2, 2026* such a beautiful book that gives you all the feelings so naturally… love their friendship and max is really lucky to have had a friend like Kevin .. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Touching story *by on Reviewed in the United States May 5, 2026* loved this touching story. was so beautiful and emotional. i thought it was a very heartfelt book about 2 boys, and their many adventures. ## Frequently Bought Together - Freak the Mighty (Scholastic Gold) - Where the Red Fern Grows - When You Reach Me: (Newbery Medal Winner) (Yearling Newbery) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.no/products/2666568-freak-the-mighty-scholastic-gold](https://www.desertcart.no/products/2666568-freak-the-mighty-scholastic-gold) --- *Product available on Desertcart Norway* *Store origin: NO* *Last updated: 2026-09-16*
