Maniac Magee, by Jerry Spinelli was great. He had a new home for like a few days. I liked the ending because It is a happy ending. And he likes running. it was kinda sad because his mom and dad died on a trolley.

Maniac Magee by Jerry Spinelli was awesome. I personally think that the exaggeration in the book made it cool. I like the race issue in the book too because Maniac fixes it in the end of the book.I just love Maniac Magee if Jerry Spinelli wrote a Maniac Magee continued or a Maniac Magee 2 I would be the first person too buy it and read it and that's my review on Maniac Magee.

The book is Maniac Magee written by Jerry Spinelli. The main character is , but people call him Maniac Magee. I think the moral of the story would be it does not matter how you look, all that matters is your source of kindness. The book starts in Maniac Magee's Aunt and Uncle's house. He runs away to the black side of two mills, because his Aunt and Uncle would not stop fighting. While he is running away he tries to find a place to fit in. my favorite part of the book was the ending because the thing that I thought was going to happen, happened. The ending was also very heart warming. I wasn't a fan of the book because it was a little confusing. I do think that the message was good. So if your someone that does not get confused that much you should read this book.
