I got the picture from http://www.ofertondelibros.com/images//large/isbn978043/9780439286060-l.jpgFreak the Mighty, by Rodman Philbrick is about a 7 foot tall boy named Max and a 2 foot tall boy named Kevin. They have many adventures together. Since Kevin is so small Max carries him on his back wherever they go. Max lives with his grandparents because his dad is a killer that killed his mom. One of the adventures they have is when Max's dad gets out of jail and kidnaps Max. He takes Max to one of his friends' houses.They stay there for awhile until Kevin pops in and rescues him with a squirt gun. He makes Max's dad think that his eyes are burning. Then Kevin has to go to the hospital and ends up dying because his heart got to big for his body. That is how the book ends.
One of the main themes in this book is friendship. An example of how this theme is shown is when Max and Kevin meet they become friends. Another theme is action. An example of how this theme is shown is when they meet they become friends and have all kinds of adventures. Those are some of the main themes in this book.
I would recommend this book to other 7th graders because it is very funny and it has lots of adventures. I also think it shows that just because you're bigger than everybody else, it doesn't mean you have to be a bully. On the flip side just because you're smaller then everybody else, it doesn't mean you have to be the kid getting bullied. That is why i would recommend this book to other 7th graders.
I hope you enjoyed my review of Freak the Mighty, Keep checking my blog too see more!
