I think that Amanda was nice enough to invite Maniac Magee to her house to talk and play and maybe eat. Do you think that Mrs.Beale will let him stay and maybe eat dinner? (Manetria has responded to this message.) |

MESSAGE:
I'm glad Maniac Mcgee found a place to stay besides the deer shed.I can't beleive a kid being allergic to pizza.I hope doesn't say anymore trash talk.It was kind of funny when he yelled out Hallejuha,but I'm glad he got into the church spirit.I hope he doesn't have to go back to his confusing family. To Adam I,m glad you responded to me .And yes I do think Maniac Mcgee is very athletic.When I was doing The Watsons Go The to Birmingham a lot of people put things that made them look desperate.Well I'm not that kind of person.Well I got to go.I'm out.Peace out. |

MESSAGE:
To Brennon J.I think Amanda's mom will not let Maniac stay.Not just because he;s white but because you can't just let someone live in your house after you've just met him. |

MESSAGE:
Our class is doing this book as a read aloud. I like the kind of style the author uses, like when he introduces a new situation, he doesn't use Jeffery's name he uses -A Kid-. I think he does that because nobody really knows who Maniac is. (Robbie has responded to this message.) |

MESSAGE:
Respond To:Drashaud P. I don't think that Jeffrey has something wrong with him, but it was strange when he went to Mr. Pickwell's house uninvited. I think I know how Amanda feels too. (Adam has responded to this message.) |

MESSAGE:
Adam P.:I think Maniac is cool too because he is really fast when he does things.Now I am going to talk about what I think :I think Mrs.Beale is a really kind person.I like the part when Maniac got sick from eating pizza because it makes me laugh.I thought Mars Bars was going to fight Maniac with his pals (but I think Mars Bars got scared of Maniac). I am happy that Maniac finally got an address. !Please write back! (Adam has responded to this message.) |

Hi Jessica, In the chapters I read I liked it when Maniac was blind and canot tell the color of his skin.Another part that I liked was when Amanda called him Jeffrey Magee Jeffrey Maniac crazy bozo Magee.The part I didn't like was when somebody was calling him and didn't tell who he was. Jessica what do you think is goin to happen in the next chapters?. Please write back! |

MESSAGE:
To: Markita L. Thanks for e-mailing back. I think it's weird that Maniac is allergic to pizza. I have a friend who is kind of like that. He isn't allergic, but he doesn't like pizza. What do you think about that? Please respond. (Markita has responded to this message.) |

For: Louis P. I think that Magee went to the Pickwells' because he might have wanted to make friends with them because he doesn't have very many friends. Well got to go. Bye |

MESSAGE:
Keishia B. I find it odd that somebody could be allergic to pizza! But it's possible. What about you? I think it's nice that Mrs. Beale lets him stay there. (Keishia has responded to this message.) |

Hi I'm responding to Markita L. I don't think Maniac likes pizza because of the sauce and cheese. Who's your favorite character? Mine is Jeffery. Write back |

MESSAGE:
"Maniac" ran away from his Aunt Dot and Uncle Dan's house. Well, I think "Maniac" might run back to Hollidaysburg because he'll find out he loves his aunt and uncle, no matter if they have two of everything. Gotta go. P.S. please write back. (Keishia has responded to this message.) |
