Max is used to being called Stupid. And he is used to everyone being scared of him. On account of his size and looking like his dad.
Kevin is used to being called Dwarf. And he is used to everyone laughing at him. On account of his size and being some cripple kid.
But greatness comes in all sizes, and together Max and Kevin become Freak The Mighty and walk high above the world.
An inspiring, heartbreaking, multi-award winning international bestseller.
