Freak the Mighty by Rodman PhilbrickMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
For our online family bookclub, we read and discussed this sweet little book this month. I thoroughly enjoyed it. It's about an unlikely friendship between two misfit boys. Each fills needs in the other. It’s a page turner with many themes, including: literacy, death, bullying, judging others, handicaps, and friendship.
This book was well-written and easy to read. I was so glad to read that many junior high school English classes use this book as required and encouraged reading. It's a great book for kids to read. They’ll learn about being a true friend, about the importance of literacy- reading and writing, how to not judge or be cruel to others and that there is a reason people act the way they act- Don't judge, and maybe most important of all how to lift and build others to their potential! I think this also would be a great read aloud for families.
