Jackson
Maniac Magee
By Jerry Spinelli

Maniac Magee isn't his real name his birth name was Jeffery Lionel but everybody knows him by that name. When Jeffery's  parents died his life changed and he was moved (he moved himself) from home to home looking for the perfect parent. One day he found one but back then "black people" were considered bad but Jeffery could see that and went on to live with this women.

This story is about racism and how it is not ok and also a young boy making people with different skin colours bond. It is quite emotional and sad at points but mostly a fell good book. I loved reading this and I loved the creativity and enthusiasm.

Rating:9/10
