Maniac Magee Paperback – November 1, 1999 by Jerry Spinelli (Little Brown Books for Young Readers) (BRChildrensBooks)



Maniac Magee is a heart-warming book first published 25 years ago. It deals with racism and its effects on a young man who, though white, finds more warmth and kindness on the Black side of town than on "his own side." The characters are compelling, realistic, and will challenge whatever tendency you may have towards clustering with your own kind as a response to racial tension and injustice.
