Why do you think Maniac reads alot of books? Do you think now that Grayson is dead would Maniac go back to the Beale's house? I don't. Do you?

I also wonder where Maniac will live now that he has left the McNabs'. I also would like to know who Maniac is going to bring to the birthday party. I would like to know if he will go back to visit the Beales' again. Could Amanda be the person that Maniac is going to take to the party?

I think that John McNab's house is pretty messy! I also think that Maniac will change John McNab's house and family. What do you think?

For: Israel L.
I think that the reason the author made Grayson die was so he could add more characters. I think it was mean to make the kids go to school. Do you?

Well got to go. Bye

MESSAGE:
Dear Keishia B.,
I'm glad Maniac made the MacNab kids go to school too.I wonder what Maniac will do next. I can't wait to find out. The chapters weren't too nice, I agree. I think Maniac should go back with the Beales, though, because they wanted him to stay, and I don't think he should have left. What do you think?

Well I think Maniac will go to the Beales and I think Maniac was really sad and a bit mad about Grayson's death.

I also wonder where Maniac will live next after leaving the McNabs. I think Maniac will bring Ananda to the party too, because who else would he bring?

Those chapters were pretty nasty. I'm glad the McNab boys believed Maniac, too. Otherwise, they probably wouldn't have learned anything. Do you think Maniac will ever find a home where he can stay?

Hi Mikhail. Grayson died so that the writer would have a reason for Maniac to be on the run again, and for him to have more places to go. Please write back soon.

MESSAGE:
I think Russell and Piper are too young to be drinking, smoking, and cursing. We couldn't believe how messy the McNab house was. I think it's a good thing that Maniac is sending the boys to school, but shouldn't he be going too?
