I personnaly don't think that it is a good book. I sometimes don't understnad it. I do understnd,however, that this was a long time ago because blacks and whites were seperate. Magee is a boy who's parents die in a trolly crash, and he runs away from his aunt and uncle-his only living kin. He sort of joins the whites and the blacks together. He can run really fast, and is good at baseball. Magee meets this girl and gets this book from her because he likes to read. It's kinda sad when he's in that shed waiting pateintly for death.

I have just read the book, Maniac Magee. I enjoyed it a lot. My favorite part was when Maniac beat Mars Bars in a race. Maniac ran backwards for the last part of the race. It also surprised me how much the author exaggerated the scenes. I would recommend this book to my friends.

I read a book,"Maniac Magee", and I thought it was alright.I would not pay $5.00 or more for it,however.The book was funny,smart,and the vocabulary is excellent.On a scale of one to five,I'd say its about a three.

Maniac Magee is a very good book. The figurative language is extraordinary. Maniac Magee is a book that can inspire people. That is why I think Maniac Magee is a good book

I just read one very exciting story about a boy. I loved the way the author got your attention with the amount of exaggeration there was. I like the way the author put this story when blacks and whites didn't like each other. I really do hope the author will make a sequal of the book. It was a wonderful story.

I read a book called Maniac Magee. It is a book that goes back in time and a boy called Maniac Magee. Magee showed the people in the East and West End that everyone is the same no matter how they look. It is very suspenseful and some exaggeration. One thing that really surprised me was when Maniac asked Amanda if he could borrow a book because he did not even know who she was. He acted as if he had known her since she was born. The author wrote that Maniac was a very fast runner and ran with a football in one hand and a book in the other. That is an exaggeration because it would be very hard to run like that without even being caught by someone. It is a very good book and children of all ages would love to read it.
