Freak the Mighty

Every year I try to read books that would spark my students' interests. Recently, we read Percy Jackson. Now, we are reading "Freak the Mighty". If you have not read this book I highly recommend it. It is about two boys, Kevin and Max, and the friendship they form and the ways they help each other out. It is a heartwarming tale and with my emotional roller coaster lately, I am sure I will cry when I finish it. So far, my students have complained a LOT about having to read this book. However, it got very interesting today. As I walked around the room, I saw a lot of comments in the reaction journals about how fun the book is now. :) HOORAY!
