Maniac Magee - Jerry Spinelli

This book is about a runaway boy who accomplishes many impossible challenges and stands up to segregation. In this town there are to sides, the East side and the West side. The east side is full of black people, and the West side is full of white people. This boy, nicknamed Maniac, astonishingly brings both sides together, but he loses many homes and families along the way. I dont think this book would be a good movie because there are so many important little things that really change the book.
