How did Freak the Mighty start?

Answer 1

Freak the Mighty started when Tony D. tried to hurt Freak and Max by trying to cut them with a blade, then Freak and Max ran into this gooey pond and they got stuck.

So, Tony D. and his friends started to throw rocks at them. Right then and there, Freak called over a police car and they saw Tony D. and his friends run way and the cops helped Freak and Max feel better from being the pond. After that, the cops ask Freak and Max for their names and Freak says... "We're Freak the Mighty, that's who we are. we are nine feet tall, in case you haven't noticed."

Answer 2

"Freak the Mighty" by Rodman Philbrick starts with Max recounting his childhood memories of meeting Kevin, or "Freak," a boy with a physical disability but a genius mind, when they are both in the seventh grade. Max and Kevin form an unlikely and strong friendship as they navigate life's challenges together.
