~We started our gazillionth novel today.... Freak the Mighty! All I can say is WOW! This novel is engaging from the beginning. We covered five chapters... yes 5... on our first day, we could not put it down! Max lives with his grandparents who actually seem scared of him. They keep him down in the basement. He is the size of an adult... actually bigger than most adults, in the 7th grade. He has no friends, and fails everything he does. He finds a friend (we know him as Freak) who is smart, the size of a two year old, and who is also in 7th grade. We are really watching these character develop quickly, making incredible inferences, and seeing some great cause and effect relationships. You can;t help but feel for these two characters. Did you ever think READING would be this much fun? I can't wait to get back to Freak the Mighty tomorrow!
