Movies - Maniac Magee


Maniac Magee is a novel written by Jerry Spinelli and was published in 1990. It won the 1991 Newbery Medal.

Set in Two Mills, Pennsylvania (which is Norristown, Pennsylvania renamed), it is a tall tale about 12-year-old Jeffrey Lionel "Maniac" Magee, an orphan who is homeless and is a baseball superstar, can run very fast on railroad tracks, and is able to soothe racial tensions in his town of Two Mills. Two Mills is divided between the African-Americans and whites by Hector Street (Blacks on East End, Whites on West End). The racial tensions in this book are very strong. Maniac is very confused about the color of his skin and is blind in a way.
