Chapter seven: "Walking High Above the World"
In the beginning of chapter seven, Freak is riding on Max’s shoulders when Tony D. and his gang start harassing them. Freak begins kicking Maxwell in the side to steer him as they attempt to get away from Tony D. He leads Max straight into the pond, but Tony D. follows them. After Tony D.’s gang gets him out of the pond, they start throwing rocks at Max and Freak. Finally, Freak whistles to attract the cops, and they quickly rescue Freak and Max using ropes. As the police try to dry off the boys, one officer says,” Hey, isn't that Kenny Kane’s boy? Must be. Old Killer Kane…” (Philbrick #39). This is the first time Freak explains that they are Freak the Mighty.
