The book i chose to read is called Maniac Magee by Jerry Spinelli and the genre is realistic fiction. I chose this book because i thought it was going to be interesting and it was very interesting.

Im going to tell you a little about this book. this book is about this boy named jeffery magee but everyone calls him maniac magee. He is homeless. someone lends him a book and he trys to return the book but has problems. he also finds a place to live but it is not permanant. thats all im going to tell you right now but read the book and find out.

there are a couple things i liked about the but im only going to tell you two things i liked. one thing i liked is that jefferey found a home with the peron that lended the book to him. another thing is that he acted like a father to these two most undisciplined and most disrespectful kids. two tings i didnt like is his guardians abandoned him and he has to live on the streets for a while. this book is for 10 to 13 year olds who are interested in realistic fiction. i would reccomend this to everybody. the people that would like this book is people that like adventure.so if you want to read it check out at your library.
