~If you haven't heard... we are currently reading Freak the Mighty as a class and in our small groups. It is an incredible story of two boys and how they come from two totally different backgrounds and from a friendship that is unbreakable. One of them is over 6 feet tall (Mighty), and overweight and labeled as "not smart" and the other has a condition that does not allow his body to grow (Freak), but he is a genius! Together they form their own imaginary Hero "Freak the Mighty". Mighty's Dad is in prison for murder, and Freak's Dad took off when he was born never to be heard from again. Both boys have to live with the social stigma of what their parents have done, and their own physical appearances. If you want to borrow a copy after we are done..... just come on by and pick one up. This is the first year the Apes have read Freak the Mighty, and it will be definitely in the rotation for next year.
Hope gets her first dose of how the Apes do "reading"
Thanks for the Valentines Day treats Mrs. Pickles!
