The book Maniac Magee is about a boy who´s parents died and he started to live with his aunt and uncle but they argued a lot so he left. Maniac ended up on the wrong side of town and met a family that changed his life forever. The family´s names where Hester,Lester,Mrs.Beal,Mr.Beal and Amanda and a friends named Snickers, Mars bars, and John McNab. My favorite part was when maniac went into a guys backyard for 10 minutes then knocked on his door. I recommend this book for 3rd and anyone higher I hope you enjoy the book!

Maniac Magee written by Jerry Spinelli is a story about a kid named Jeffrey Magee who does not believe in segregation and believes there is no difference whether you are black or white. Maniac Magee is about a boy (Maniac) who's parents die. He goes to live with Aunt Dot and Uncle Dan but he hates life there so he runs away. He then ends up in Two mills. I loved the ending of the book it was very surprising. I would definitely recommend this book because it is full of surprises and it is a story I could really relate to. If you like a book with a message and filled to the top with surprises then this is the book for you.

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 from the East End to the West End he meets different people like Mars Bars, Amanda, and John Mcnab. My favorite part about Maniac Magee is when Maniac hits all of John Mcnads fastballs. He even hits a toad that he 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 a good book. It doesn't have a lot of action. It shows you what life was like when black people stayed away from whites and when white people stayed away from blacks. This book is about a kid who wanders into Two Mills, Pennsylvania. He make friends with a lot of people and a lot of people will not like him for it. He lives in different place throughout the book. My favorite part of the book is that the ending is kind of a surprise. I would recommend this book to people who like less action.

The book Maniac Magee is about a boy named Jeffrey Magee. It is in the time when blacks and whites were seperated. In the book Jeffrey is looking for a home. The book tells about treating people respectfully and if someone is mean give them a second chance. The thing I like about this book is that it has so many messages on how important it is to be kind. I would recommended this book because it has a lot of good messages, but it does not have a lot of action in my opinion. Read the book to see what happens to Jeffrey Magee.

This story is a fantastic way to help children learn about tolerance and trust. The characters are interesting and believable. This story takes place in a small town where whites and blacks are separated and do not really understand one another. The lead character (Jeffery Magee) finds himself new and unusual friends .

This is a very good book, Action, And other stuff
