A Newbery Medal winning modern classic about a racially divided small
town and a boy who runs.
Jeffrey Lionel "Maniac" Magee might have lived a normal life if a freak
accident hadn't made him an orphan. After living with his unhappy and
uptight aunt and uncle for eight years, he decides to run--and not just
run away, but run. This is where the myth of Maniac Magee begins, as he
changes the lives of a racially divided small town with his amazing and
legendary feats.
