"Freak the Mighty" by Rodman Philbrick
http://www!.amazon!.com/Mighty-Scholastic-!.!.!.
"A wonderful story of triumph over imperfection, shame, and loss!. Large, awkward, learning-disabled Maxwell Kane, whose father is in prison for murdering his mother, and crippled, undersized Kevin are both mocked by their peers; the cruel taunting they endure is all too realistic and believable!. The boys establish a friendship-and a partnership!. Kevin defends them with his intelligence, while Max is his friend's "legs," affording him a chance to participate in the larger world!. Inspired by tales of King Arthur, they become knights fighting for good and true causes!. But Kevin's illness progresses, and when he dies, Max is left with the memories of an extraordinary relationship and, perhaps, the insight to think positively about himself and his future!."Www@QuestionHome@Com
