Rating:  Summary: Awesome Review: This book is about a boy who ran away and did amazing things in the town of Two Mills. Maniac did not have a family unless you count the Beals. I would recommend this book to anyone.
Rating:  Summary: Humourous!!!! Review: This book was the first book I ever read of Jerry Spinelli, and now it's one of the BEST books I ever read. It was touching, thrilling, and yet very funny.
Rating:  Summary: This book was full of emotion that touched my heart. Review: Maniac Magee was a delightful book! It was full of emotion and taught me many things. I learned how hard it is for some kids and how they deal with it. Maniac had a caring soul and a genuine love for books! His love for books helped him through alot of his troubles. His fondness of the Beales was touching! This book was definetly a "Five Star" book. I would recommend it to anyone and everyone!
Rating:  Summary: This book was good Review: This book was quite intersting. The way he describes the life of "MANIAC" Magee is very good. I would recommend that young readers read this book.
Rating:  Summary: Maniac Magee, A Child's Dream Review: We thought that Maniac Magee was an excellent story. It had great writing. Jerry Spinelli used a lot of similies and metaphors that drew a picture in your mind when you read it. We think that Jerry Spinelli created a serious book about prejudice. Besides the fact that it was a serious book we found ourselves laughing out loud at certain parts. The main character, Jeffrey Magee was ''one part truth, two parts legend and three parts snowball." In the book, we follow Jeffery Magee through his journey to find a home. We highly recommend Maniac Magee to all of you.
Rating:  Summary: Good Book!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Review: I thought it was a good book because it taught a good lesson to Maniac(Jeffery)
Rating:  Summary: I LOVED IT!!!!!!!!!!!! Review: The book Maniac Magee was a book about aboy that can run very fast, can untie knots, and loves to read. I highly recommend this book to kids of all ages. If I was a teacher this book would most definitely be in my classroom! Also if there was a rating higher than ten that would be where my rating for Maniac Magee would be.
Rating:  Summary: This book has shown the way society is actually still today Review: I enjoyed reading this book. I had to read it for a childrens lit class in college. I felt that it had alot to do with society today with the blacks and whites and the distance that is still kept today, unfortunately. The book was humorous at times and then of course sad as well. Even though it is not possible for a little boy to live life the way Maniac did, all children that are the understanding age should read this book. To get an understanding of what not to do and how we should treat others not just by the color of their skin. I have read this book a few times and being that I am 26 years old, it has made an impact on the way I vision things in life. I highly reccommend this book to all!
Rating:  Summary: The ups and downs of Maniac Magee Review: In this book Maniac Magee has his ups and downs, just like in real life. If you haven't read this I recomend it.
Rating:  Summary: An amazing athletic boy out to stop hate. Review: Great! This book is excellent! There is lots of laughter and unexpected twists of this amazing boy. Read it. There is lots of iffy material, so 6th graders and up should read it.
