Maniac+Magee

__Maniac Magee__ is a book about a boy whose parents are killed in a train wreck. He runs off to his aunt and uncles house. Then when he is sick of them fighting, He runs for a whole year and no one knew where he was. This year was referred to as the lost year. He runs into a very segregated town and as a white, he doesn’t know what segregation is. My favorite part of the book is when his parents died because he was sad and I can relate to that because when my grandfather died there was times of mourn like him.
