Maniac Magee

About This Book

Jeffrey Lionel Magee — known everywhere as Maniac — can run faster than a legend, hit any pitch, and untie the world's most impossible knot. But what he cannot do is find a home in a town divided by race. Jerry Spinelli's Newbery Medal novel is a tall-tale fable about a boy who crosses every line people draw and asks, simply, why they were drawn in the first place.
