Maniac Magee by Jerry Spinelli
Genre: Realistic Fiction
Book Summary: Jeffery Magee is heartbroken and torn between his parents, so he runs away and sleeps with the zoo animals. With his friends and family moving through so much he settles down, now known as Maniac Magee.
Rank (0-5): 4
Would you recommend this book to a friend? Yes
My review of this book: Jeffery may be disappointed, but I disagree with his running away. I don't believe that he found a family to take him in. His friend, Amanda was very nice to let him stay, but with racism present, it was awkward because Amanda was black and Maniac was white. Either way both sides knew him for his crazy running-thus his name. Maniac Magee was a very good book.
