Reviews for Freak the Mighty

"Praise for Rodman Philbrick: Freak the Mighty A School Library Journal Best Book for Young Adults A YALSA Best Book for Young Adults A YALSA Quick Picks for Reluctant Young Adult Readers An IRA Young Adults' Choices Book A winner of: Arizona Young Readers' Award, California Young Reader Medal, Charlotte Award, Golden Sower Award (Nebraska), Judy Lopez Memorial Award for Children's Literature (California), Soaring Eagle Book Award (Wyoming) ""Max's description of their friendship . . . is gritty, unsentimental, sparked with Freak's wry verbal wit and Max's earthier humor, and ultimately poignant. Easily read but compelling: an intriguing and unusual story."" -- Kirkus Reviews, starred review The Mostly True Adventures of Homer P. Figg A Newbery Honor Book A Kentucky Bluegrass Award Nominee An Oppenheim Toy Portfolio Platinum Award Winner A New York Public Library's ""Children's Books"" 2009 -- 100 Books for Reading and Sharing A CBC/NCSS Notable Social Studies Trade Books for Young People 2010 ""The book wouldn't be nearly as much fun without Homer's tall tales, but there are serious moments, too, and the horror of war and injustice of slavery ring clearly above the din of playful exaggerations."" -- Publishers Weekly, starred review"
