The strange thing about Aunt Dot and Uncle Dan is that they hate each other. If they could, they'd probably tear Maniac in two so they didn't have to share him.

Maniac was three years old when his parents died in a trolley wreck then he has to move in with his Aunt Dot and Uncle Dan. The book says that he stayed with them for eight years before running away so I'm assuming he was eleven years old in the book (8+3).

Why does Maniac Magee leaves home?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Maniac Magee left his home because he couldn't stand his aunt and uncle's selfishness any longer. They were described as having two of everything--one for each of them--and they wanted to split Maniac up between them.

Later on in the novel, he leaves the Beales because he feels guilty for causing them trouble (the town is very racist, and several townsfolk were terrorizing the Beales for taking Magee in).
