freak: Hes small
very smart
in cruches,
hes kinda a know it all person
isnt afraid really of anything thats in his patth

Maxwell:He's kinda seems like a quite person,
clueless,
scared
not very smart,
very talll,
BIG feet,
if max was in a situtation like if someone was making fun of him he would probly walk of or punch the kid that was making fun of him.

well i think that they are perfect for eachother to be friends, because one is kinda shy and the other is kinda straight up forward and like deosn't really care what someone else thinks of him,
which is good ,because they can learn alot from eachother

Maxwell is a pretty big preteen with some confidence issues. He has big feet and a large body. He doesn't really know much. He limits himself and puts himself down. Thinks that people are scared of him because of his size. He looks like his dad. No shoes because he's growing so fast. Taller than his Gram and Grim. Is thirteen.
Freak is a small boy, looks like a tiny kindergartener. He has yellow hair with fierce eyes. He is extremely smart and doesn't let his disabillites stop him from doing what he wants to do. Knowing that, he just acts kind of strange.Likes robots.Has crutches to help him walk. Normal sized head. Surprised it isn't growing huge from all that knowledge. Plus, he has silver leg braces underneath his pants.
Since we're readers, I think that Max is just putting himself down and that Freak is not letting anything stop him, even his disabillities. They would make a good team. freak could teach Max how to think and have confidence while Max could show and help him around. If they worked together I think that we could learn about how friends could be formed. Of course, they would need cooperation.

freak: he seems like he dosent have any friends really but really seems smart and on crutches lie to be the talker

maxwell: he seems like the quite but smart type but but dosent seem like he has very many friends and a good listener

they seem like they should go good together and will hangout alot and they will tell eachother stories and maxwell sounds like he could protect freak if he wanted to and i think that they would be good friends.

Freak {Kevin} is a very short person who favorite book is a dictionary. he is really straight- up forward and he's a know-it-all. A blond kid in leg braces who loves robots and he spends most of his time either playing with little robots or acting like one.

Maxwell {max} is a preteen who has HUGE feet and he's stupid. But he also a scarde-cat he does'nt like to fight but everyone thinks he douse. He is tall and he gets to drink his first coffee out of a china glass. He is like a teenage giant. He stays under his bed and imagines wonderful thoughts.
