Freak the Mighty? Nope. Max the Mighty

So I have liked the book Freak the Mighty to go and read its sequel, Max the Mighty. And I have to admit, it was a pretty good book! It was better than I expected it to be, because on my opinion sequels to really good books or movies don't end up to be as good as the original. I still think it wasn't good as the original, but it definitely was really good. I mean, I finished it in like two days, and I never finish books that fast. Sure, it was only about 160 pages, but still.
      The book was slightly similar to its original. It was about how Max meets a new friend, a girl, who is slightly similar to Freak. She is kind of small like Freak was, and she is kind of smart, too. She isn't as smart as Freak was, but she's different from other people too, because she is a book worm. In most of the story she would just be burying her head in a book. But in the story, Max saves her from a bully, and the friendship kind of starts from there, and they kind of go on an adventure, except it's real serious, not imaginary like in Freak the Mighty, but the kind where Max ends up getting a 10,000 dollar bounty on his head while he tries to find a way to get to Chivalry Montana (thousands of miles away) so worm (Max's friend) can see her dad. Yeah, I'm still wondering how it fit into 160 pages.
