Maniac Magee
By: Jerry Spinelli
Book Review By: Emma
This book is very good and I recommend it if you like ever-changing stories with a good amount of action in them. This novel is by Jerry Spinelli and if you haven’t read one of his books I most humbly request for you to go find one and start reading immediately. Maniac Magee is actually just a kid named Jeffrey Magee. His parents are dead and he is homeless. He manages to survive on his own and is finally taken in by the family of Amanda Beale. He loves his life with their family but he is white and lives on the “black” end of town. He doesn’t realize the wave of hate piling up against until one day. An ordinary day and then BOOM it all hits him like a hurricane.
Then he runs away. He is a professional at running away. He is very fast which is how his nickname “Maniac Magee” got created. He is very athletic and throws perfectly catches perfectly and is basically a perfect athlete. Magee is fine with being homeless and doesn’t mind living in a buffalo pin for a while, in fact he enjoys the buffalo’s company. I love Jerry Spinelli’s writing don’t you?
He is a good author.
