"Fun story, dragged down by too much agenda..."
The story line is good, but the author has such an obvious agenda to preach that the story gets lost in the background noise at times.

"Wonderfully narrated"
This is my first audible.com book and I thoroughly enjoyed the narration! The story is well written and teaches a lesson without being "preachy". I will definitely listen to this again and with my children.

"Maniac Magee is a great book"
My child had to read this for school. We as a family thought it would be good to listen to it together as he read along with the book. I am so glad we did. The story is about compassion for people no matter the
color or station in life. It is about love. One of the best books I have read.
Even my husband loved it. We were all in tears at the end of the book.
The narrator is the best. She did each voice perfectly. She was especially good with the children's voices.
I hope audible will ask Merkerson to read more children's books and I do believe she is gifted reader.
Even my son was taken aback by how well she read.
