In the book, Maniac Magee, the author says, "This, of course, was the infamous address of Finsterwald. Kids stayed away from Finsterwald's the way old people stay away from Saturday afternoon matinees at a two-dollar movie."
Write about what you think the author meant by this. Why do people avoid Finsterwald's property? Why do old folks avoid the matinee?
Write your thoughts in complete sentences. Give details. I can't wait to read and share your blogs!!

I love the book, Maniac Magee! He is such an interesting character and the author has great voice. The author's voice really brings the story to life, don't you think? Write and let me know your thoughts.
Well I think the old folks don't like to go to the Saturday matinee because it's probably crowded since it is cheaper. But, with our recession, maybe more will go to the matinee.
I love to read books.This is one of the BEST BOOKS in the WORLD.I can make a connection with the book.Maniac Maggie runs very fast my brother also runs fast.Every kid should get a chance to read Maniac Maggie because if I like it other kids will to because it's a GREAT book.

Micah, why do you think Finsterwald might be crazy? Did the author give some hints about that? You've made me curious!

I tought it was awsome
It was funny how Hester and Lester put their hands on Lyle Lyle Crocidile and swore to never take a bath.
I think Maniac Maggie is one of the best books I have ever raed!
I agree with Darian Banks; I think Amanda has a little crush on Maniac. I also think the Indianapolis Colts need to sign Maniac as a receiver to take Marvin Harrison's place.
The ice melted and ternd into water
Maniac Magee is cool.
Paul Reeves said... I felt sad when Maniac left the beales and whent back to the west end.
COME DARIN AND MR.CAMP MANIAC HAS A CRUSH ON HER.
Maniac goes and lives with Grayson another white person that doesn't know any Blacks and he is really old and he and Maniac bought bought some Butterscotch Krimpets and they both like each other a lot. They bought Maniac a new pair of clothes and now maniac is doing better than just bathing with Hester and Lester,Now he baths solitude.
i think that maniac magee is a alright book sometime it can be funny or sad
I think that Maiac Magee is a good book even though we did not finish the book I stiil think it is a good book to read,and it is kind of funny to me.I'm not suprised that a lot of people posted somthing about the book Maniac Magee because it's pretty funny.For some reason I think Amanda has a crush on Maniac Magee.
i think that maniac magee is a realy cool book it is very interesting book.
maniac rocks
Maniac is all alone with grayson i think they will make great freinds even though i thin he will make good freinds with Amanda again because. And Amanda is an east ender that got mad at Maniac and made Maniac get mad and he ran away from the Beales because he got mad at Amanda.
