Product Description:
After his parents die, Jeffrey Lionel Magee's life becomes legendary as he accomplishes athletic feats and other extraordinary exploits that awe his contemporaries. Paperback.
Amazon.com:
Maniac Magee is a folk story about a boy, a very excitable boy. One that can outrun dogs, hit a home run off the best pitcher in the neighborhood, tie a knot no one can undo. 'Kid's gotta be a maniac,' is what the folks in Two Mills say. It's also the story of how this boy, Jeffrey Lionel 'Maniac' Magee, confronts racism in a small town, tries to find a home where there is none and attempts to soothe tensions between rival factions on the tough side of town. Presented as a folk tale, it's the stuff of storytelling. 'The history of a kid,' says Jerry Spinelli, 'is one part fact, two parts legend, and three parts snowball.' And for this kid, four parts of fun. Maniac Magee won the 1991 Newbery Medal.

Teachers are often critized for assigning books because they are on "some list" instead of assigning books students will actually read. I am a teacher. Let me assure you, that at least in my case, I did not choose to assign this book becuase it was on a list or it won an award. In fact I read this book after a student suggested I read it [I have a section where students can recommend books to other]. After reading ... Read More

After reading Maniac Magee by Jerry Spinelli, I have learned a lot about what it takes to be a good friend.I thought I had good friends before I read it.Friends are supposed to be people you can laugh with, remember forever, and trust enough to ask for a payday loan without any threat of interest.Spinelli produced in Jeffrey Magee a completely different kind of friend.
Maniac, as he came to be known by other characters in the book was homeless, needy, untrusting of most others, ... Read More
