Maniac Magee

Maniac Magee  By Jerry Spinelli
**** 4/5 stars Fiction
Maniac Magee is different from other kids. He is much braver and much faster. He can untie any knot and he is always on the move. His parents died in a train crash, and he ran away from his aunt and uncle. He ran to Two Mills. Two Mills is split into two parts: the East End and the West End. White people live in the West End and black people live in the East End. Maniac never stays in the same house for very long. He lives in both the East and West Ends. Some people don't mind that he lives on both Ends, but some people mind a lot. Maniac does it any way. The only reason I gave this book four stars was because it wasn't fantasy or science fiction. Other than that, I loved it.
