"Maniac Magee" by Jerry Spinelli

Introduction

I can't even recall why I picked this book up so many years ago. Was most likely forced by my grade school teacher, but I am sure glad I did because I don't think i'll ever forget it. Almost two decades later and I can still remember parts of the book that had a big impact on me, enough to engrave them into my mind



"One of the best books ever for upper elementary and middle school kids! Great lessons on treating others the same and getting along with people who are different."

"I loved this book as a child and nothing has changed. I still find it a great book.""
