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.

Hello everyone,

 

I need help finding a book similar in theme and point of view to Of Mice and
Men. The 7th/8th grade class is reading this book and the teacher has
requested a book for low level readers, reading at a 4th grade level. Or is
there a graphic novel version? Thanks for any recommendations.
