FREAK THE MIGHTY by Rodman Philbrick (connection to other books and internal and external conflict)

Freak The Mighty is not like any book I've ever read. It's unique. This book has a lot of teamwork and so does A Wrinkle In Time by Madeleine L'Engle. Charles, Meg and Calvin work together just like Kevin and Max did. Charles was small, sure, but just like Kevin, he was super smart! They worked together and fought any wrong that came their way.
Max had so much conflict going on iside his head! He was forced to choose between two stories at one point in the book and went with the one he truely remembered. He didn't let anyone tell him otherwise. With Kevin around, Max was learning more than ever before! Max questioned if he really wasn't smart or if he was just lazy. At the end of the book Max had to find and question the true value of life. All these events and conflicts never left Max the same person. He became smarter and wiser, no one could change Max's opinion after he was sure it was correct or the best. Max will never be like what he was in the begining of the book.
