Product Details

Product Description

From 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. --This text refers to the Hardcover edition.


From Publishers Weekly

Winner of the Newbery Medal, this humorous yet poignant tall tale concerns a super-athletic teenager who bridges his town's racial gap. Ages 8-12.
Copyright 1992 Reed Business Information, Inc. --This text refers to the Paperback edition.

1.0 out of 5 stars my review, Jun 8 2004
By A Customer
This review is from: Maniac Magee (Paperback)
My name is Carmen and i'm the reviewer for the book,Maniac Magee.I think this book deserves one star, because it doesn't make sence.This book is talking about a boy who is running for no reason.I don't see why he didn't stay at home because he has to find places to sleep and it's cold at night.I cant compare this book to a movie because no one has ever made a movie like this or maybe iv'e

5.0 out of 5 stars Rakiem's Book Review, Jun 8 2004
By A Customer
This review is from: Maniac Magee (Paperback)
(...) I give the book Maniac Magee five stars.The reason why I give Maniac Magee a five star rating is because I read this book in fifth grade and most of the books that I read a second time are boring but this one was different.The book is about a kid named Jeffrey Magee and something bad happened to his parents so now he's an orphan and he goes through a lot as a kid.So I think that you should really go buy this book or go check it out of the libary because this a veryawsome book.

5.0 out of 5 stars laquoia review, Jun 8 2004
By A Customer
This review is from: Maniac Magee (Paperback)
Hello I am laquoia and the book maniac magee was a good book to read but, i did not like most of the reading. i thought the book was a bit racism because the west end had to stay in the west end, and it was the same for the east enders.i would compare this book to the world because in LA it's kind of the same instead it's just crips and bloods. i will convice you to read this book because it's a very interesting book and it show how people can go through some things and still make it through life.
