Jerry Spinelli chose Holidaysburg, Pennsylvania as the setting for "Maniac Magee" because he wanted a small town that reflected a sense of community and historical significance. Holidaysburg's historic charm, diverse population, and strong sense of neighborhood unity made it an ideal backdrop for the story of a young boy who transcends racial divides and brings people together through his actions.
