Synopsis

"He wasn't born with the name Maniac Magee. He came into this world named Jeffrey Lionel Magee, but when his parents died and his ife changed, so did his name...the thing Maniac Magee is best known for is what he did for the kids from the East Side and those from the West side.

He was special all right, and this is his story, and it's a story that is very careful not to let the facts get mixed up with the truth." --- Publisher's Comments

--a great yarn for middle school readers with short, action-packed chapters

Reviews
