From the Inside Flap

Read by Elden Henson
Two cassettes / 3 hours 16 mins.

Meet Maxwell Kane, narrator of The Mighty.  He's a timid soul stuck in the body of a teenage giant with size 14 shoes.  Hounted by a dark secret in his past, he hides out in his basement room, avoiding the world.  When a new kid moves in next door--a small, brainy boy with leg braces and a major attitude--Max's life changes forever.  The two outcasts from the 'normal' world team up to become Freak The Mighty.

Like knights of old they defend the weak, right every wrong--and solve the mysteery of Max's past.  Proving once and for all that courage comes in all sizes.
