The follow-up to Freak the Mighty, with Max on his own after losing Kevin.
He ends up defending a girl the other kids call Worm because she reads constantly, and when he gets blamed for something he did not do the two of them run across the country.
It does not match the first book and I am not sure anything could. What makes it worth reading is Max alone, having to be the smart one for somebody else now that the person who did his thinking is gone.
