Maxwell Kane
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Maxwell "Max" Kane is the unreliable narrator of two children's books, Freak the Mighty and its sequel, Max the Mighty. His father is in jail because he killed his (Max's) mother. Max lives with his maternal grandparents, Grim and Gram.
Rachel hails him as a hero and calls him Max the Mighty. Others think he is mean, like his father. But he wouldn't hurt a fly.
Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.
Max used to have a friend named Kevin "Freak" Dillon, but Freak died in the first book. His nickname came from the fact that he was crippled, but throughout the story, he convinces Max that he is going to live by way of a bionic operation.
Spoilers end here.
Freak the Mighty was the basis of a Golden Globe-nominated movie titled simply "The Mighty". In the movie, he is played by Elden Henson.
