Maniac Magee byJerry Spinnelli
reviewed by Quinn
My parents passed away know i live with my aunt and uncle.They hate each other.
But they are strict catholics so they live with each other but don’t share anything.
Theres always two of everything in my house two tvs,two beds,and two closets.
His aunt an uncle never shared anything.I think maniac magee was getting bored of never getting two do things with both of them.For example if he goes two a diner he only goes with one of them.(or if he goes to a movie he only goes with one).I think he gets frustrated because he runs away (that was wrong) but if he had not done that he would have been lonely all his life.
Readers will cling to maniac magee,(it’s a very interesting story).It shows maniac magee what it’s like to have a mother,father,and brother and sisters.He learns the surprise of kids of different color if you simply play with them they think you're dangers because your a different color .Or a girl who can’t leave her books at home because her dog ,sister,and brother will destroy them.
The author Jerry Spinnelli does a great job of making it like a story but also a biography and appropriate for all ages.
both children and adults will love this newbery honor book It celebrates Happiness loss friendship and new beginnings. Maniacs fans all over the world love this.I recommend ages 9 and up.
