Book Summary:
Part town legend, part loner seeking a home, Maniac Magee is a character like no other. This book deals with racism and bullying through the eyes of an unusual hero--one who can untie the trickiest knots, and hit home runs against the best pitcher in town. Book Review: This is a well-written page-turner that addresses complex topics like racism and loneliness. It does not flinch away from ugliness or sadness, but it also offers moments of almost mythical triumph and faith in humanity. Although it was written several decades ago, it maintains a wide range of appeal. "They say he kept an eight-inch cockroach on a leash and that rats stood guard over him while he slept."
