![]() ![]() I enjoyed this book because of all the excitement that is packed into it, including when Maniac runs away from the Beales. All that changes on Christmas day when Maniac discovers something that will break his heart. He allows Maniac to stay with him,and as seasons pass, they develope a strong friendship. ![]() The caretaker lives in a sports locker room. Finally, he meets a man named Grayson who is the caretaker of the zoo. Once again he's on his own struggling to survive, wanting nothing more than to be loved. He feels that he has to leaves Amanda's house so he doesn't put his friends in danger. Things with the Beales are going well until one day when Maniac is insulted by some kids who belong to a gang. Beale, their mother, loves Maniac and enjoys how neat Maniac really is and how much he helps around the house. Maniac enjoys the company of Amanda and her one brother and one sister, Hester and Lester. Maniac enters the African-American side of houses where he meets Amanda, who is on her way to school. Maniac believes that segregation is nonsense. It is divided into two sections because of segregation. ![]() At first he finds himself in a neighborhood like many others in our country. After leaving his cold hearted aunt and uncle, Maniac begins his search for a family. In usual situations, young orphans go to live with foster parents or go to live with family, but in Jerry Spinelli's "Maniac Magee", the young boy, Magee, is an orphan who has no one. ![]()
