Honey, the McNabs in "Maniac Magee" don't have a fixed address. They're a hot mess of a family living in a dump of a house with a revolving door of relatives coming in and out. Just follow the stench of burnt toast and you might stumble upon their chaotic abode.
Maniac doesn't want to leave the McNabs because they are the first family that has shown him love and acceptance. He feels like he finally belongs with them, and leaving would mean losing that sense of belonging that he has never experienced before.
McNabs always have their home a mess and the Beales always have their home clean.
Maniac Magee lived in lots of places. The Beale's, the McNabs, the band shell room with Grayson, Uncle Dan and Aunt Dot (moved out because he hated it there), and Mars Bar asked Maniac if he wanted to live at his house. At the end, Amanda Beale tells Maniac to come home. Maniac ends up living at the Beale's. .
In exactly 15 minutes, he woke up and started back in.
