Max The Mighty by Rodman Philbrick

My review

rating: 5 of 5 stars
Maxwell Kane, whom we met in the unforgettable book Freak the Mighty, returns to save the day. I love Max because he always does the right thing (maybe not the smart thing) even though his head is telling him to let things alone. In this book Max rescues a little girl named Worm from a scary situation, and agrees to take her to her father in Montana. They have no money, and no plan, but off they go anyway. Of course Max is blessed by some incredible good luck on his journey, along with some bad luck, but somehow that doesn't make the story seem unbelievable, just really really good.
