[Libs-Or] Of Mice and Men

[Jane Corry]

Freak the mighty by *Rodman Philbrick. I couldn't find the reading level
for it *
  At *the* beginning of eighth grade, learning disabled Max and his new
friend *Freak*, whose birth defect has affected his body but not his
brilliant mind, find that when they combine forces they make a powerful
team. An established writer of adult suspense makes a stunning entry into
children's literature with this extraordinary novel about two boys--a slow
learner too large for his age, and a tiny, crippled genius--who pair up to
create on formidable human force.
