Maniac Magee
Maniac Magee's parents died when he was a baby. After that he was an orphan and was sent to live with his Aunt Dot and Uncle Dan. When Maniac was eleven he ran away becasue he hated his home with Aunt Dot and Uncle Dan. Jeffrey Lionel Magee was Maniac Magee's real name, he got his nickname because people started to call him a maniac. He met a girl named Amanda Beal who let him borrow one of her books called The Children's Crusade. Maniac also did amazing things like hit John McNab's baseballs. John McNab and his friends came to beat up Maniac, but instead Maniac got chased onto the west side of town. This is where he met Mars Bars Thompson who ripped a page from the book Amanda had had given Maniac. Maniac got away from Mars Bars but then met up with him again where Amanda came to rescue him. Another amazing thing he did was catch Hands Down's football with one hand.
