Maniac Magee's life might've been normal if his parents wouldn't have been in a trolly accident when he was three years old. After that happen, he became an orphan. He lived with his angry, uptight aunt and uncle for eight years. After eight years of his aunt and uncle fighting, he runs. But he didn't run away, he just ran..
This is where the myth of Maniac Magee starts. This is where he changes lives in a small town with his amazing feats.
