Maniac Magee

This is a great book. One note of caution. I used a Venn diagram to determine the differences between the McNabb's home and the Beale's home. The students then wrote a compare/contrast paper. I had one student pick up the on the sentence that mentioned submachine guns, UK47, etc. and elaborate on that one sentence. With the school violence issue, you might discuss this sentence in relation to the McNabb's ignorance of many other issues. While that one sentence was not the focus of the book, it did cause one mother to question using the book in school.
