Manic Magee

I think the fact that Grayson used to live with the Beals will play a big part in later on in "Maniac Magee"! Do the Beals even know that Grayson works were he works? Do they even know that Maniac/Grayson is he still alive? Are the Beals searching for Maniac like crazy? Did Grayson run away too? these are all questions the the author, Spinelli has left us asking. I've noticed that Spinelli, as an author tends to end most paragraphs on a cliff-hanger, or at least that's what it seems like to me. This is in someways good and bad. A prediction that I have is that I think Maniac will keep running into these friendly strangers who ask Maniac all these questions, and are surprised to find that this talented little kid who is white has drank from the same cup as a black kid, lived white blacks, and even taken showers with blacks. Until on day in this book Maniac nowhere was as good as the Beal's house. Maybe, we will just have to keep reading to find out.
