Ratings and reviews

What a tremendous story. The writing is impeccable, the characters captivating, and the message timeless. Because I'm an adult I was unprepared for how much I was affected by Freak the Mighty. Wow!! A classic even for older readers.

ughh, I have a catch up to and you only give me chapter 1 for the free one!?

I'm reading this book in class and it's so good
