Get Talking: Maniac Magee

Here are some discussion questions for the book.  

What did you think of the book?  Did you like it?

Who was your favorite character?  What about your least favorite character?

Why did Maniac start running?

Lots of people in the book have nicknames.  How does Maniac get his?  What would you want your nickname to be?

Maniac lives with all sorts of different people in all sorts of situations.  Of all of them, who would you want to live with?

What is the difference between the East end and the West end of Two Mills?  Is there any sort of division like that where you live?

Maniac is happy living with the Beales, so why does he leave?

Why does Maniac take Mars Bars to the West end?

Why doesn't Maniac help Piper and Russell when they are in trouble?  What happens because of it?

At the end of the book, Maniac is offered a couple of permanent homes.  Why doesn't he want to live with the people who offer to take him in?

In the prologue, it talks about Maniac's legacy.  What was it?
