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.
Pick up a Newbery Review form from Ms. Goodnight-Click in the library or print one off from the library's wiki page (click on the yellow jacket below.) Make sure the book you are reviewing is a Newbery Medal or Honor Award book. Your review must include the title, the author's name, a short summary, your thoughts about the book, and a star rating (1 star = poor to 4 stars = great). Give the review to Ms. Goodnight-Click in the library for posting.
