"In the 'culture wars' narrative of the Republican ascendancy, this slippage represents the greatest con in recent history: while you rush to defend marriage or protect the unborn, please pay no attention to the financier behind the curtain." Continue »

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

After his parents die, Jeffrey Lionel Magee's life becomes legendary, as he accomplishes athletic and other feats which awe his contemporaries, in Spinelli's Newbery Medal-winning novel.

Synopsis:

He wasn't born with the name Maniac Magee. He came into this world named Jeffrey Lionel Magee, but when his parents died and his life changed, so did his name. And Maniac Magee became a legend. Even today kids talk about how fast he could run; about how he hit an inside-the-park "frog" homer; how no knot, no matter how snarled, would stay that way once he began to untie it. But the thing Maniac Magee is best known for is what he did for the kids from the East Side and those from the West Side.

This book was assigned by my daughter's sixth grade teacher. (Thanks, Mrs. Frhese) I visited class the other day and picked it up to read during "quiet time". Couldn't put it down. Even though it's written for the elementary/junior high audience, the story is compelling, if not a little unbeleivable, but is a fun jaunt in the fantasty life of a child. Has underlying message of racial equality. Buy this for your child and you won't be sorry.
