The purpose of this book is educational. I enjoy reading Jerry Spinelli's "Maniac Magee," and I believe that it is an excellent book for children (and for adults such as myself) to read.This book contains many questions about Jerry Spinelli's "Maniac Magee" and their answers. I hope that teachers of children will find it useful as a guide for discussions. It can also be used for short writing assignments. Students can answer selected questions from this little guide orally or in one or more paragraphs.I hope to encourage teachers to teach Jerry Spinelli's "Maniac Magee," and I hope to lessen the time needed for teachers to prepare to teach this book.
