Maniac Magee

Reader reviewed by Victoria Shew Mrs. Siorek's class

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.

Maniac Magee didn't see in color. He didn't undrestrand what it meant. He thought white was the most boringest color of all. He had thought this after moving in with the Beales at 728 Sycamore. He didn't think that the color the skin mattered to people, until the kids in the East End started to treat him differently while they played around the neighborhood. This part was my favorite part in this book.

Maniac Magee was a really good book!! At the begining his parents died and he moved to his Aunt Dots & Uncle Dans house. I bet that it was tough living with his Aunt and Uncle.After I read on I realized how much the author exxagerated, like when he said that "Jeffery had ran for a year. The summary for this story is that Jeffery Magee wanted a family!!
