To Monica T. I like this book too. I wouldn't like being chased by a bully either. It would be scary! I think I'd faint. |

I think that Amanda was mad at Maniac when he wanted to leave because she really liked him and maybe she even thought of him as a brother. I think that he will go to live at the zoo. Some of my friends think that he will go back to live in the house where his mother and father lived before they died. |

MESSAGE:
Today is my first day because of my absent.I think that Maniac Magee is a very good book so far .It was rude of Jeffrey to go into that womens house and eat. It was nice of Mr. and Mrs.Beale to let Jeffrey stay there with them.It was nice of Jeffrey to keep house clean and taking a bath with the kids and keep them from coloring everything in site.Do you think Jeffrey's aunt and uncle will find them? I think it was rude of that man to put FISHBELLY GO HOME on the house just because he was white.What do you do you think? Ariana Yes they are going to let him stay for dinner better yet they let him stay for ever he keeps the kids from coloring every thing in site and Mrs.Beale dosen't have to clean up as much.Please wriye back. |

MESSAGE:
Dear Robbie, I think he was called Maniac because he was weird . I think Amanda was really nice to let him stay stay with her. I'd probably wouldn't want to let him stay if I was black because he was white. I know that is prejudice, but back then people didn't think that was bad. I know they didn't have a lot of books back then, but reading the encyclopedia is the the most boringest book ever made. (Brennon has responded to this message.) |

MESSAGE:
I think Maniac Magee shouldn't have left the Beales. They wanted him to stay, and they didn't care about the prejudiced people. They wanted him to stay with them, and I think he should have. |

MESSAGE:
I think Maniac was very kind to leave the Beales' so they won't get hurt. I think that it was really cool that he untied the big knot. Jeffrey might have gotten the nickname Maniac because he did crazy stuff. It was really nice of Maniac to take baths with Hester and Lester. |
