One of my all-time favorite books is not that old. Maniac Magee by Jerry Spinelli was published in 1990. It is an amazing tale of a young boy, family, race relations, and love. Your kids will be immediately drawn into Jeffrey Magee's world: he has no family to speak of, is a legendary runner and athlete, and friend to the unforgettable Amanda Beale. What is home? What is a family? What is the difference between blacks and whites? And what on earth is Cobble's Knot?!
This funny, sad, fast-paced book will make you cry and make you think. Share it with someone you love.
