    Freak the Mighty, a book now recommended to classrooms around the world, is written by Rodman Philbrick, and takes place in Portsmouth, New Hampshire.

Kevin cannot walk very easily without assistance, but can crawl on all fours rather quickly.…

    In “The Landlady”, Billy Weaver is lured into a seemingly normal bed and breakfast by an old lady who, despite her gentle and unthreatening appearance, wants to kill him.

One example of how the book develops the development of the story is with the setting.…
