Book Challenge A-Z #32 Maniac Magee by Jerry Spinelli
The S requirement for the author's last name alphabetically.
Summary:
"Ma-niac, Ma-niac He's so cool Ma-niac Ma-niac Don't go to school Runs all night Runs all right Ma-niac, Ma-niac Kissed a bull!"
He wasn't born with the name Maniac Magee. His real name was Jeffrey Lionel Magee, but when his parents died and his life changed, so did his name.
Maniac Magee was a legend. Kids were always talking about how fast he could run; how high he could jump; how no knot would stay knotted once he began to untie it. BUt the thing Maniac Magee was best known for is what he did for the kids from the black East End and those from the white West End of Two Mills.
Maniac Magee was special. And this is his story.
Lesson learned:
Changes don't happen over night but gradually.
