Maniac Magee

This book never gets old, and I actually like the movie to it also, which is pretty unusual of me!

The book Maniac Magee was a good book! This book was about a boy who has problems, and what he decides to do with those problems is to just forget about them. Espeically by running from them! In this book it tells you about Jeffrey's problems and what it is like to be homeless and not stick around in one place. The author Jerry Spinelli tells a heart warming tale about a boy, a family, an old man, and people in the past. This book is a great book. This book is a good book that many kids and adults can relate to. Mainly because this boy is an outcast and some people know what that feels like.  This book also has a great ending, so if you are stuck in the book and deciding wether or not to finish it, finish it! This book deserves an A+!

I have just read the book, Maniac Magee. I enjoyed it a lot. My favorite part was when Maniac beat Mars Bars in a race. Maniac ran backwards for the last part of the race. It also surprised me how much the author exaggerated the scenes. I would recommend this book to my friends.

Maniac Magee was a really good book!! At the begining his parents died and he moved to his Aunt Dots & Uncle Dans house. I bet that it was tough living with his Aunt and Uncle.After I read on I realized how much the author exxagerated, like when he said that "Jeffery had ran for a year. The summary for this story is that Jeffery Magee wanted a family!!

I just read one very exciting story about a boy. I loved the way the author got your attention with the amount of exaggeration there was. I like the way the author put this story when blacks and whites didn't like each other. I really do hope the author will make a sequal of the book. It was a wonderful story.
