People thought that Maniac Magee was a legend. But he wasn't. He was born in a regular home with regular parents and went to a regular school. One day his parents died and he had to go live with his aunt and uncle. They didn't like each other so they had two of everything except for Maniac. One day he had enough of it and ran away. He loved to run and this is just the beginning of all the things that he does.

It is a good book and I recomment it to others.

4 stars
