Maniac Magee by Jerry Spinelli

Maniac Magee is a great book, I really enjoyed this book because there was a point to the story that built it all together. Also how this story was told and how the way its told makes it sound so realistic as if you were there. Its about this boy who has a very difficult life and he lives around the time were people were racist which made his choices much difficult , overall its a great story.
