Maniac Magee

Jerry Spinelli

By David Akainda

Maniac, maniac he’s so cool. Maniac, maniac don’t go to school. Runs all night. Runs all right. Maniac, maniac kissed a bull. Do you know maniac? Well if you don’t, you should read this book. It takes place in Pennsylvania. Well back to the story. He was born in a dump. He used to live with his Uncle Dan and Aunt Dot, who argued a lot. So he runs across the bridge to a town called Hector which is split into two sides, The West Side and The East Side, because of racial problems. He lives on both side and meets many people and teaches them lessons about prejudice. He encounters many adventures and becomes a legend. I recommend this book to anyone who likes to run and loves to read adventure books. This book will take you on a wild ride.
