Read this with our grandchildren. We all loved it and had to find the movie, which was close enough to the spirit of the book to get an approval from us.

I read this book when it first came out and my children were elementary school. This is an awesome tale of friendship by two social outcasts who become the best of friends and feed each other hope for better times. There is a movie based on this book as well and is excellent.

I teach this novel to sixth graders and I find that for a novel that is 15+ years old it still is relevant to many young adults today.
Funny and heart-wrenching at the same time - a very good read. The film version , The Mighty, obviously is missing a few details (stuff you would notice only after reading it 20x per year). The actors in the film really match up to how you envision the characters when reading.

Loved this book! It is such a heartwarming story
The book was good. This is the ONLY time I have ever thought a movie was better than the book.
