In the book, Freak the Mighty, a young teen named Max is having trouble in school until an old friend from preschool comes to town. His old friend's name is Kevin but Max called him "Freak." Freak moves in down the street from Max's house. When they meet again for the first time, they realize they still annoy each other. Max always thought, "I never had a brain until Freak came along, and that’s the truth, the unvanquished truth," because he was in special ed classes and nothing in school seemed to go right. Max always did have a brain but he never knew how to use it. Max is hoping that he does not see his dad ever again after he watched his dad, Kane, strangle his mother. But many years later, after being paroled for murder, Max’s dad shows up late Christmas Eve/early Christmas morning wanting to spending time with Max. Max has no desire to spend time with his dad so Kane kidnaps him from Grim and Gram’s house. Max is held prisoner for one day at Iggy and Loretta’s house. Freak has an idea where Kane may have taken Max so he gets in the patrol car and directs the police to Iggy and Loretta’s house. The police arrest Kane and put him back in jail on multiple charges including, attempted murder, kidnapping and several other charges. Max and Kevin go back to school as heroes for what they did over Christmas break. Read on to find out what twists and turns occur with Max and Freak's friendship and discover why Max’s nickname for Kevin is “Freak.”
