19. What in the book upsets you or bothers you? Why?
What upset me in this book is that maniac didn't have anyone to rely on until almost the end. also that they would give maniac to his aunt and uncle when they hate each other alot. I don't think that's a healthy to live in



20. I wonder why the author…

I wounder if the author has gone thru something like this.. i wounder what inspired the author to write this book that starts with a sad beginning

13. Which character would you like to be like? In what way? Why?

I would choose maniac magee because i want to feel the way he feels. When he is mad fun of or when he was living with his aunt and uncles because i have never seen any couple stay together because of their religion i have never seen that big of hatred. Also i want to feel who it feel when u could do whatever you want. but i wouldn't want my parents to die in a train crash.

16. Which character would you like (or not like) to be your friend? Why?

I would choose maniac magee to be my friend so i could help him out and help him be someone successful in life.

Why i picked it

I Picked this book because i have some friends that have read this book and they said it was a really good book that the author had a great way to discribe the charecters. I also picked it because i had read another book about jerry spinelli and it was called loser and it was a really great book in almost each chapter it left u hanging

3. What does this book make you wonder about? Why?
This book makes me wonder about maniac if he is going to be successful in life and if he is going to have a good work. The reason I'm wondering this is because he hasn't met some people that are very successful in life and I'm wondering if he is going to follow those steps.



19. What in the book upsets you or bothers you? Why?

What made me upset about this book is were he had to go live with his aunt and uncle because his parents die. I got upset when the author said that his aunt and uncle hate each other and cant share anything and that they have to buy every thing twice because they hated each other so much. Also that they couldn't get a divorce because they were catholic and that religion says that they could get a divorce. I think every one should be avall to get a divorce because it might get to the point were someone kills another person just becsue they arent happy with each other.

18. What has surprised you in the book? Why?
In this book i have been surprised by this book when they actually made a song out of mainiac magee. I think that's really mean because i would never want people to make a mean song out of me. It also surprised me were he said that his parents died in a train crash and he had to move in with his aunt. And his aunt and uncle hate each other but they are catholic so they have to stay together.





12. Do you think you would read another book by this author? Why or why not?
Yes, i would read another book by this author. I'm pretty sure that if I saw another book that had the same author it would catch my eye, like this one did. In this book i like the way the author choose the character and the characteristics. The Characters were really interesting and hopefully all the books he has made have a interesting charecter.
