Unfortunately, Rodman Philbrick's books aren't easily available in England. After seeing 'The Mighty' ~ the film version of 'Freak the Mighty' ~ I managed to order a copy of both Freak the Mighty and Max the Mighty over the internet. I'm so glad I did, I have read these books countless times and love them both more every time I read them. They're definitely the sort of books that you need to set aside a complete day to read; you will NOT want to put them down until you've finished reading, then you'll probably just want to read them again! Thanks Rodman, I've nominated them for the BBCs competition to find Britain's favourite book. Seeing as they're so hard to find over here I don't s'pose they'll win, but I'll keep nominating them!

Max the mighty is an exciting book.
18 Dec 1998
Format:Hardcover
It all starts with a scream for help by Worm. Max the Mighty comes to the rescure saving her from a gangster. Max finds where she lives and takes Worm to find her step dad. What they dont know is they're in for a real ride! I recommend this book especially if you like the book Freak the Mighty.

Great Book!
6 Nov 2003
Format:Paperback
This book is a great story of the friendship between Max, a kid who is very large for his age and is not too bright, and Rachel, also called "worm" because of her huge interest in reading. The story begins at Max's house, where he lives with his grandma and grandpa, who he calls Gram and Grim. The first couple chapters walk you through a normal day in his life. First, walking to school, trying to avoid hoodlums who live on "the wrong side of the tracks. In his classes, being made fun of for being so big and not being so smart. And lastly, taking the bus, where kids simply annoy and annoy him, even though he could easily beat them up. Then the story turns around and shows you Rachel's horrible home life. Her mom is constantly beaten by her stepfather, a tall, lean man with a heart of stone. When Max realizes this problem, he rescues her and they set off on a long and adventurous journey across the country to find her real dad, who is thought to live in Chivalry, Montana. And this journey has plenty of surprises along the way.
I really liked this book because I felt like I could relate to what some of the characters were going through.
I would highly recommend this book to any child or adult looking for a great story of friendship and determination. Also could be a good book to read along with your child.

Max the Mighty
27 Feb 2001
Format:Paperback
p "Max the Mighty" by Rodman Philbrick is a sequel to the book "Freak the Mighty". In this book Max, the main character, is still sulking over the loss of his friend when he finds a girl by the name of Racheal(nicknamed worm) who befriends him. This girl, he soon finds out, is in a lot of trouble with her step-dad. One time when Max tries to stop him from doing anything to her he carries her out of the house and they hide for a while. The step dad goes and tells the police that Max tried to hurt Racheal. Max sudenly finds himself traveling across America with this girl to meet her father who will supposibly know what to do. They go through a lot of adventures together and begin a very strong relationship as friends. This book was very good. It showed a lot about friendship. I don't know if it's as good as the first but i do recommend you read it.
