MESSAGE:
I don't think Maniac's aunt and uncle should have treated him like that. It was like they tore him in half.What do you think? (Keishia has responded to this message.) |

I think Manic is brave because he hopped over the Finsterwald's fence and carried Arnold Jones back over again. |

Comment to Leah M. I think Maniac Magee is a great book, and the character Maniac Magee is an amazing athlete. I can't wait to see what happens next. I hope Maniac can find another home. |

Dear Leah, I think that Maniac Magee is a great book. My favorite character is Amanda because she is very nice for letting Maniac borrow her book. |

Durring his trip to Two Mills I think Maniac ate at peoples' houses if they would let him, and slept in alleys in the street. What do you think? |

My book club thought that Maniac Magee ate Butterscoth Krimpets for the year he travelled from Holidaysburg to Two Mills. Someone suggested that he slept on the doorsteps of peoples houses. |

MESSAGE:
We wonder what will happen to Maniac next! Maybe he will continue to save people like he did at the Finsterwald's! He might live at Amanda Beale's house. One of our book club members thinks he will not give the book back, maybe he will forget the address. We read the Children's Crusade . It had to do with freedom, maybe this story does too. |

MESSAGE:
I think Maniac Magee should have stayed with his aunt and uncle so he could help them get back together. Would you like to see your aunt and uncle fight? I also think this book is great so far. |

I think it's amazing that Maniac held all his emotions inside for so long. I never could have done that. What about you? |

FROM: Bryan T. Grade 5 Barringer Road School Ilion, NY |
MESSAGE:
I think Maniac shouldn't have run away just because his aunt and uncle don't like each other. I think he should have stayed with his aunt and uncle. |

FROM: Katelynn S. Grade 5 Barringer Road School Ilion, NY |
MESSAGE:
I think that it must have been hard for Maniac Magee to live the life he had, because his parents died, and his aunt and uncle sort of split him in two. What do you think? |
