Pros: Good Details you can imagine it in your head
Cons: some what confusing
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 fiction...

Pros: either side of town is fine
Cons: living on the street might not be so bad
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...

Pros: Expands child's imagination & mind.
Cons: None
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 do. He...

Pros: For Great Imagination
Cons: Fills heads with nonsense
Review: I believe this book was very well written on the bases it was on. Mainly it is a book about a runaway boy that learns new things, by running to a faraway place where there is conflict between the blacks and whites. I recommend that you read this book....

Pros: a lesson of the heart, that people are different
Cons: a little sad, black vs white
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.

Pros: easy to read
Cons: not a literary hallmark
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 a...

Pros: Tugs at the heartstrings
Cons: none
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 themselves. In...
