Review: "Nani gigantum humeris insidentes." "A dwarf standing on the shoulders of a giant may see farther than a giant himself."Well-written, climatic tale of two young outcasts, one freakishly tall (Kevin), the other suffering from Morquio's Syndrome (Max). Ironically, though committed to personal and intellectual growth, Max's body stagnates at toddler-size. As learning-disabled Kevin lifts Max to his shoulders, the two begin to adapt a similar worldview.Paralleling the tale of King Arthur and his knights of the round table, the two boys fight local evildoers and overcome forces much larger than seems plausible for two young boys.ALA Best Book for Young Adults & ALA Recommended Book for Reluctant Young Adult Readers
