Ratings and reviews

One of the best books I have ever read. For my assignment in english class we have to read this book and most of the time I hate the novels my teacher picks for us to read but this is an incredible book. It's hard warming,but also tear jerking and it is truly a roller coaster of emotions. Max and Kevin's friendship warms my heart and I definitely recommend this book!

At the biggining freak acts like mighty(max) is his horse and rhey go pn lots of quests and adventures like to the millpond or to the hospital but at the end somethinf happens to freak that darn near makes you want to cry. Its one of the best place I've ever read

I am a fan of fantasy and action books, but when I came across this, I fell in love. It is a great source of pure literature. Fills all my requirements too a good book. This book is amazing for people of all ages and I highly recommend it.
