It has been twenty years--and more than two million copies, eight foreign editions, and a popular Miramax feature film--since the world was introduced to this powerful story about a unique friendship between a troubled, oversized boy and the tiny, physically challenged genius who proves that courage comes in all sizes.

Now we have a new edition to celebrate this poignant novel's impact on young readers all over the world.
With thirty-two pages of new content to explore, this edition offers: an extensive Q&A with the Newbery Honor-winning author; letters and notes the author has exchanged with fans; the author's exclusive commentary on the making of the film, THE MIGHTY, and the effect the book has had on a generation of children, parents, and teachers; and the original text.
