Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

A Newbery Medal winning modern classic about a racially divided small town and a boy who runs.

Jeffrey Lionel "Maniac" Magee might have lived a normal life if a freak accident hadn't made him an orphan. After living with his unhappy and uptight aunt and uncle for eight years, he decides to run--and not just run away, but run. This is where the myth of Maniac Magee begins, as he changes the lives of a racially divided small town with his amazing and legendary feats.

"First published in hardcover in April 1990"--Title page verso.

"This special 25th anniversary edition includes a Q&A with Jerry Spinelli and an introduction from Katherine Applegate, author of The one and only Ivan"--Back cover.

Frequently republished with this same ISBN but with slightly differing bibliographical details. The 2015 printing includes an introduction, author Q & A, and excerpt from Eggs.

After his parents die, Jeffrey Lionel Magee's life becomes legendary, as he accomplishes athletic and other feats which awe his contemporaries.
