Maniac Magee is better because it has more characters,
and it has more action such as some body falling off of
a trestle.

I like Maniac Magee.This is because in Maniac Magee there is a lot of emotion and i like emotional books.Also, I like Maniac Magee because in the book Maniac made Mars Bar become a better person by not letting him stay a bully for the rest of his life.

I enjoyed the book Stargirl better than the book Maniac Magee. One reason is because I enjoyed the theme of the book, which I believe is "No matter who you are on the outside what matters most is who you are on the inside." My second reason is I really like books with a girl as the main character.
I like the book Maniac Magee because in Star Girl there is too much drama and gossip.

I like Stargirl better because in the book stargirl racism was not a problem and also it had more description.
I think Maniac Magee was better because it had more interesting and exciting parts. Then Stargirl just had everything how she is different.
I like Maniac Magee because of how it starts and ends.The theme is don't judge people by their color be cause they could be nice on the inside.I like it because it was exciting because of when he went to live in different.

I think Maniac Magee is better because one,I have never read Stargirl
and two,it was funny when Amanda called Mars bar snickers and I am surprised Amanda didn't say Maniac smells like buffalo dodo.
Gabriel
My opinion is that Maniac Magee is better than Stargirl because MM has the same amount of drama , but a lot more people die in MM more than they do in stargirl .That is why MM is better.

Maniac Magee is better because i understood more maniac Magee and in maniac Magee had more adventures. In the other hand Stargirl had adventures too but not as amazing adventures as maniac Magee.

I like the maniac magee because the book teaches you that no matter what person meet white or black don't
judge them by there color.
the second reason I like the the book because the story is an adventure for manic moving to different homes
sleeping in different in the night and in a bufflo pin thats why I like maniac magee.

I like Maniac Magee better.Maniac caught a foot ball from hands down and hit a fast ball from Mcnob and won a race with mars bars.
Patrick . I think Maniac Magee was better than Stargirl beause Manic had more friends and it was funny at the end of the book when Amanda Beal came and grabbed Maniac by the ear.

Maniac Magee is better then Star-girl. First of all Maniac reminds me of Liam (my brother) because their both athletic. And they both don't like school. Also Maniac Magee is more funny.
I like Maniac Magee because you can see how the way it started it was like smashing because we found out he was an orphan and ran away from home and met a lot of interesting characters along the way.
