Book Reviews of Maniac Magee

Book Review: A great lesson on prejudice and racism for kids!
Summary: 1 Stars

Maniac Magee is splendidly written, while delivering an abrupt message to kids. The novel is able to capture the attention of pre-teens using everyday life as its tool. Maniac shares some of the same problems as our youth in America. He is caught up in a world of racism. Mr. Spinelli uses hyperbole to get a laugh or two out of his audience. The book is written in modern language and with the interest of students at heart. There needs to be a video available with this novel. This reading is one of the best teaching tools that I have seen.
