|| This story is about a orphan boy called Jeffrey Lionel Magee who after his parents die in a car accident when he was just three-years-old, his life became legendary. As he accomplishes athletic and other feats, his reputation becomes even greater and in some cases, stranger. The story starts out with the loss of Jeffrey's parents, and he was shipped off to his nearest relatives in west Pennsylvania. And so the adventure begins the legend, Maniac Magee. He get this nickname after being able to pull off amazing feats and nearly impossible tasks. ||﻿Amanda Beale- At first, she was slightly suspicious about Magee being on the wrong end of the city, but later on, lent him a book to read for a while. She still thought he was a bit strange, but she later came to be a friend of the main character.

John McNab- He was a little league pitcher (despite being 180 pounds and 5 foot 8, he was in fact 12), and probably one of the conflicts to appear in the book. He only pitches fastballs and had struck out every kid that stepped up to the plate, except for Maniac Magee. He chased after Magee, but was not able to catch him.

Mars Bar- He was a boy that had a reputation with many people, he is kind of a half good, half bad character in the story, but he is Maniac's friend. || A character from another book would probably be Ponyboy from the book, __The Outsiders__. The main thing Ponyboy and Maniac had in come was that they were both orphans, however Ponyboy still lives with his brothers and around many friends. Maniac had to move, had no siblings, and had to make new friends. || The main things Jeffrey loved to do were reading, trying to make new friends, and apparently accomplish nearly impoosible feats. || Jeffrey learns to cope with being an orphan ,and also learns many things from the books he reads and the friends he meets along the way. ||
