    I think Maniac will open an ice cream shop that specializes in root beer floats.

    I think Maniac will go to Amanda's house and will be questioned by her parents about why he's there.

    I think Maniac will do what ever it takes to fix Amanda's book. He will run into Mcnabb and Mars Bars along the way.

    I believe that "Maniac" will go to Amanda's house. "Maniac" will see Amanda's parents, and she will pull him away. Amanda will not want her parents to know "Maniac's" in their house. An other possible answer would be that "Maniac" will be introduced to Amanda's parents and they will disapprove of him. They know that the two of them are friends and will let them be. They will fix the page from the book "Mars Bar" tore and they will be happy about that. "Maniac" will see "Mars Bar" and the other bully, and he will get out of trouble again. More rumors will spread and "Maniac" will be friends with the man that I can't remember his name.

    I think that a person will notice that they never see his parents and will report him to the orphanage. He will go to the orphanage and stay there a couple nights and then he will escape and go live with Amanda forever.

    I think that Jffrey will stay with Amanda, then run into Mars. Amanda won't be there to help Jeffrey, but Mars will become his friend.

  15. EleanorNovember 1, 2011 at 6:35 PM

    I think that Maniac will run into McNabb again. This time he will not be able to run away. Maybe McNabb and his gang will hurt Maniac Magee.

    I think he will make the whole town like each and there will not be a line that separates the black from the white. also I think he will make all the kids like Finsterwall and will become great friends with Amanda Beal.

    I think that Mars Bar and McNab will team up on Maniac. But, Amanda and Maniac will fight them. Maniac will find a way to bring all whites and blacks together.

  21. Lily H.November 1, 2011 at 8:18 PM

    I think what will happen is Maniac will go to Amanda Beale's house, return the book, and leave. The next time they see each other Amanda will be mad at Maniac for keeping her book in terrible condition. And Maniac will tell her he is sorry, but she doesn't accept his apology.

    I predict that Maniac will have may more encounters with McNabb and Mars Bars. Every time he's on the east end Mars Bars will look for him. Every time he's on the west end McNabb will look for him.

    I also think during the lost year he met a friend and later sees the friend in another place like at amada's house. I also think he and amanda will become good + close friends. During his visit he will be asked many questions about how he dosen't belong in the black's part of town and will be advized to go away. But he dosen't listen

  38. Caroline CNovember 2, 2011 at 5:43 PM

    I think that at Amanda's house, Jeffrey will meet Amanda's parents. Jeffrey will fix Amanda's torn book and ask for a new one. At first, Amanda will say no, but later say okay. And then, Maniac will run away again.

  39. ElainaNovember 2, 2011 at 6:52 PM

    I think Maniac and Amanda will go to Amanda's house. She will try to hide him but then Amanda's parents will come and see him and approve of him. Maniac will stay the night and they will become best friends until Mars Bar shows up

  40. SkylarNovember 2, 2011 at 6:55 PM

    I also think that Mars Bar will end up being Maniac's friend. McNab will also become his friend. Then whites and blacks will all be equal and like each other.

  41. BeauNovember 2, 2011 at 7:38 PM

    I think Maniac will go in Amanda's house and her mom will disapprove of him because he is white. I also think later he will become friends with Mars Bar.

    I think that Amanda and Maniac will go to her house and he will get kicked out of her house but they will be a boy and girl couple behind her parents back.

  44. EliseNovember 2, 2011 at 10:10 PM

    I think Amanda's parents will kick him out because they don't want to draw attention to themslves, or get in trouble. Amanda will meet him in private.

    I think that he thought of Maniac and how heroic maybe he loves tall tales. I think it is better with tall tale like stuff

  53. Caroline CNovember 10, 2011 at 5:39 PM

    Maniac Magee is related to extreme exaggeration because he has a sidekick who is Amanda. (But not Hester and Lester.)Also he is a hero by saving Arnold Jones from the Finsterwallies. He has talents like running super fast, not being afraid of what people are most afraid of in the story and by doing the most impossible things into things possible.

  54. SimonNovember 10, 2011 at 6:05 PM

    I think Amanda will find out Jeffrey is using the encyclopedia and get very mad at him.

  55. JakeNovember 10, 2011 at 6:07 PM

    I think that he put exaggeration in the book because it makes the book exciting.

    I think Maniac will go out the next day and play football again and will see Hands Down, I think he will also see Mars Bar and they will play against each other in football.

  58. catherine gNovember 10, 2011 at 9:15 PM

    I think Jerry Spinelli wrote this way because he might of liked Tall Tales when he was a kid.

    ReplyDelete
  59. SkylarNovember 10, 2011 at 9:44 PM

    I think that Hands Down will ask Maniac to join their football team. Also maybe, Maniac will end up staying with the Beales well, forever, but their might be some bumps in the road.

  60. BeauNovember 11, 2011 at 3:54 PM

    McNab and his gang will run into Maniac.
