I liked when the Beales took Maniac in. It was really nice of them to let him live with them. I thought it was really weird when the Beales and Maniac discovered he was allergic to pizza! I feel a little bad for him though. You can't eat pizza! I also liked how Amanda knew that Maniac didn't rip her book. Really nice. Maniac Magee is a pretty good book after all.
