Literature Circle Guides: Maniac Magee (Grades 4-8)

Rating:
Summary: Good, but not Great
Review: This book is about a boy named Jeffrey Magee who is an average kid. But his whole life changed when his parents died in a troley accident. He is sent to live with his aunt and uncle but he does'nt like them so he runs away to Two Mills. While he is there he becomes a legend by doing things that no kid could do. He also helps to ease some of the segregation between the black dominated east side and the white dominated west side. I thought this book was good for elementary school aged kids because it was so easy. It is a good book and it will teach you not to judge others before you really know them.
