A review by aelane23
Maniac Magee by Jerry Spinelli

4.0

I always love Spinelli's use of hyperbole for younger kids, while making the story interesting. This book also introduces the idea of home and racism...but not in the way you think. Reading level wise, I think it was difficult for some of my fifth graders, but sixth grade sailed right on through with no problem. There are also a lot of resources available for comprehension and great words for vocabulary.
