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.
