MESSAGE:
Our class has enjoyed reading Maniac Magee because he was brave and didn't see differences between black and white. We think that other people should read the book.

I wonder why Mars Bar and Maniac are friends now, after all they have been through. By the way, I was sick.

For Keishia, I think Maniac brought Mars Bar to the party to show everyone that blacks and whites are the same. What do you think?

For Velisa,
Yes, I think it is sad for Maniac to sleep on porches.

I want to know that if you were Maniac,would you go back to your Uncle Dan's and your Aunt Dot's or just go back to the Beale's house?

Please write back

I think that Maniac shouldn't have let Mars Bar in with the whites because they might think that he's against them.

Well got to go. Bye

I thoiught that it was neat that Maniac slept in a different backyard every night. I really enjoyed the book and I think Maniac was a cool kid! When Maniac and Mars Bar were running they were becoming friends. I am glad that Maniac went back to live with Amanda.

Do you think you could untie Cobblers Knot? I don't think so.I don't even believe anybody could untie Cobblers Knot. I don't believe Maniac taught Grayson to read. Thats odd isn't it?
