The genre of Freak the Mighty is children's literature.
Children's literature is specifically written and tailored to the interests, reading abilities, and emotional development of children. It often features simpler language, engaging illustrations, and themes that resonate with young readers. Adult literature, on the other hand, is written for a more mature audience, with complex language, deeper themes, and often more nuanced storytelling that reflects the experiences and perspectives of adults.
The conflict in a story is the central struggle the main character has, either with another character, society, nature, or something else. Plot is the narrative of how the conflict arises and is either overcome or overcomes the main character.
There are many types of fiction literature such as mystery and romance. Other popular fiction genres are suspense, women's, science fiction, western, horror and young adult.
The theme of listening to grownups quarreling often revolves around the loss of innocence and the complexities of adult relationships. It highlights how children perceive conflict and the emotional impact it can have on them, fostering feelings of confusion or anxiety. Additionally, it underscores the idea that children may learn about communication, conflict resolution, and emotional responses by observing adults, shaping their understanding of interpersonal dynamics.

Children's literature works on two levels. The first, most obvious level, is that of an exciting/interesting/touching story that will appeal to the age of children at which it is aimed. The second level is actually aimed at the adult who will read it to the child and may make more of the 'touching' category or relate to some kind of universally recognised experience. The best and most enduring children's literature fulfils both of these criteria and has apt characterisation achieved through conversation and reactions of the characters and a degree of humour and light-heartedness. It may address and resolve issues that concern children. Adult literature, as opposed to adult pulp fiction, is many layered, weaving stories within stories and having underlying meanings or references. Its characterisation generally includes the thoughts and feelings of the character suggested by actions or spelled out. The story may or may not be easily memorable or even a necessary part of the work. The best literature leaves the reader questioning or rethinking his/her attitudes.
