the book maniac magee was a great book i loved it because it was about a kid our age who was a legend and was homeless and never afraid.

Maniac Magee is an orphan who is in need of a home in an area where there is a lot of racism. Will he ever find a family that cares for him no matter what color he is?

Read this book to find out about Maniac Magee's amazing adventures!

Maniac Magee. Running through the city like CRAZY! Maniac Magee's gurdians are terrible and he has run away, only to live with kind people and go through many wild adventures.

I would so recommend this book. It is about Magee's life. He plays with the black kids and hes white. People think that is wrong. Magee has no parents and ran away from his aunt and uncle who couldn't share anything. To learn more about Magee's life read the book.

not interesting enough
