The book Maniac Magee by Jerry Spinelli is about a run-a-way boy that discovers new friends and the world.Maniac ends up on the wrong side of town and meets some people that will change his life. Going between the East End and the West End he meets different people like Mars Bars, Amanda, and John Mcnab. My favorite part about the book is when maniac hits all of John Mcnabs fastballs. He even hits a toad that John threw at him. I would recommend this book to people who like action and a lot of adventure. Also, this book is filled with mysteries.

Maniac Magee is one of my all time favorite realistic fiction books, that is about a boy and his fight to find a place to call home. Jeffrey Magee has a hard life, his parents died when he was a little boy and he can't stand his aunt and uncle because they fight 24/7 so he ran and ran and ran until he found himself in between a segragated town that he can only hope to find a home in. My favorite part of this book was when a kid who was way to full of himself challeged Maniac to a race and Maniac beet the kid running backwards. I would defenetly recommend this book for 5th graders who are willing to get lost in its pages.

The book Maniac Magee by Jerry Spinelli is a fascinating book about a runaway boy named Jeffrey Magee. This book is about a boy Jeffrey Magee. His parents died when he was just three years old and stayed with his aunt and uncle who hated each other, so he ran away. My favorite part of the book is the end because I did not expect the ending.If you like books of action and with meaning full messages, you will love this book for even more reasons.
