Date of Review:  Jul 4, 2000
Review: From the first sentence, Jerry Spinelli has the reader hooked.
"Maniac, Maniac,
He's so cool
Maniac, Maniac
Don't go to school."

The reader can't help but want to go on with the story of this kid who has become a legend in...

Could not stop reading, wanted more

Date of Review:  Jul 6, 2000
Review: When my daughter read this book she could not put it down, and when she was done reading it she wanted to read more chapters. This story is a lesson in compassion.

It starts out with a boy who is an orphan who runs around making friends...

Don't Go There

Date of Review:  Feb 1, 2000
Review: Maniac Magee by Jerry Spinelli was a book my granddaughter read for a book report in about the 5th or 6th grade. From the time she was little we read books to her all the time. Supposedly that will encourage your youngster to want to read...

Definitely share this with others

Date of Review:  Mar 26, 2000
Review: Spinelli's informal, exaggerative, storyteller style pulls young children immediately into Maniac's story. It's almost as though the audience is a newcomer who listens to town gossip by a town crier. What does the town crier relate? Well, Maniac is...

Date of Review:  Oct 7, 2000
Review: Maniac Magee is one of the best childrens books I have read in a long time. My son had to do a poster board book report and he chose this book to do it on. I have never read any of the other titles by this author but if I see one in a store I will...

Great read aloud

Date of Review:  Jul 1, 2000
Review: Maniac Magee is a great book to read to kids. Jerry Spinelli writes in a way that is very descriptive and realistic to many children. This book comments on racism, drugs, homes, etc. This fast-paced, realistic story is about a boy that soon earns...

Maniac Magee was good

Date of Review:  Jan 25, 2000
Review: I thought that this book was actually really good. The story would probably never actually happen but I still liked it. There were some really sad parts which I personally don't like, but then again there was also really happy parts. If you like...

What a BOOK!!

Date of Review:  Sep 27, 2000
Review: My 10 year old loved it!! She said he is a great writer of children's books. What a treat to be able to capture the wondering minds of pre-teens the way Jerry does! He is able to capture your child's attention. In this age bracket, that's hard to...
