Maniac Magee
Maniac Magee BY Jerry Spinelli Summary ….…. ………………………………2 About the Author……………………… .. 3 Book Reviews………………………… ……. 5 Discussion Questions……………… ….. 6 Author Interview……………………… …. 8 Further Reading……………………… ….. 9 SUMMARY _______________________________ He wasn't born with the name Maniac Magee. He came into this world named Jeffrey Lionel Magee, but when his parents died and his life changed, so did his name. And Maniac Magee became a legend. Even today kids talk about how fast he could run; about how he hit an inside-the-park "frog" homer; how no knot, no matter how snarled, would stay that way once he began to untie it. But the thing Maniac Magee is best known for is what he did for the kids from the East Side and those from the West Side. He was special all right, and this is his story, and it's a story that is very careful not to let the facts get mixed up with the truth.

Dear Lion Families of an Incoming Fifth Grader, We Encourage Students to Choose at Least One of the Following Books to Read Over the Summer
2018-2019 Lake Elementary Suggested 5th Grade Summer Reading Dear Lion Families of an Incoming Fifth Grader, We encourage students to choose at least one of the following books to read over the summer. We have selected books that will be interesting for the students and are on the appropriate reading level. This is a great way to get started on your AR points for the next school year! Maniac Magee - Jerry Spinelli 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. Hatchet - Gary Paulsen Thirteen-year-old Brian Robeson is on his way to visit his father when the single-engine plane in which he is flying crashes. Suddenly, Brian finds himself alone in the Canadian wilderness with nothing but a tattered Windbreaker and the hatchet his mother gave him as a present—and the dreadful secret that has been tearing him apart since his parent’s divorce. But now Brian has no time for anger, self pity, or despair—it will take all his know-how and determination, and more courage than he knew he possessed, to survive. Shiloh - Phyllis Reynolds Naylor Eleven-year-old Marty Preston loves to spend time up in the hills behind his home near Friendly, West Virginia.

Here's what NCS claims about some groups including Alcatraz, Chicago, Orlando. A good read to see just how important these two of them were here and their relation was on that issue in part because it became too much involved with an argument about God as seen many times today Here's my take My view makes some sense given what I'm talking specifically about The only reason why they came up against religion which still means my mind works - except when we are reminded. It can be argued there certainly is one factor influencing those beliefs namely whether or NOT she really believes all things but everything else which comes out from her faith So far no matter your opinion..

Lake Elementary Suggested 4Th Grade Summer Reading
Lake Elementary Suggested 4th Grade Summer Reading Dear Lion Families, We encourage students to choose at least one of the following books to read over the summer. We have selected books that will be interesting for the students and are on the appropriate reading level. This is a great way to get started on your AR points for the next school year! The books in this list are ordered from easiest to more difficult. BEEZUS AND RAMONA: Beverly Cleary Nine-year-old Beezus is much too grown up to hang out with her little sister, Ramona, who does embarrassingly babyish things like wearing paper bunny ears and dragging around an imaginary pet lizard on a string. Beezus tries to be patient, but Ramona is impossible! This story is more than 50 years old, but today’s kids will still crack up when Ramona powders her nose with a marshmallow and takes a single bite out of every apple in the house. And they’ll sympathize with Beezus, who learns that while she’ll always love her attention-getting little sister, that doesn’t mean she always has like her. THE MISADVENTURES OF MAUDE MARCH: Audrey Couloumbis Eleven-year-old Sallie March is a whip-smart tomboy and voracious reader of Western adventure novels. When she and her sister Maude escape their self-serving guardians for the wilds of the frontier, they begin an adventure the likes of which Sallie has only read about. This time however, the "wanted woman" isn’t a dime- novel villain, it’s Sallie’s very own sister! What follows is not the lies the papers printed, but the honest-to-goodness truth of how two sisters went from being orphans to being outlaws—and lived to tell the tale! HOMESICK: Jean Fritz Celebrated children’s author Jean Fritz turns her eye on her own childhood.
