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 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.

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
