Yes he did because Maniac thought that that house was a psychotic mess and thought "who are the orphans now?"
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. .
Maniac Magee lives in a band shell with Grayson.
He acts like a bully and calls Maniac Magee names. He also offers Maniac a bite of his chocolate bar.
In "Maniac Magee" by Jerry Spinelli, Maniac Magee challenges societal norms and racism by crossing the divide between the East End and West End of his town, which are segregated based on race. While his actions of running into the West End and befriending people like Amanda Beale and the McNabs are courageous, they also provoke tension and conflict, especially among those who resist integration. His defiance of prejudiced attitudes and his refusal to conform to the town's divisions are seen as unacceptable by some residents.

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.
The McNabs are building the pillbox to keep their family safe from Maniac Magee, who has been befriending their son and causing tension in the neighborhood due to his ability to bridge racial divides. This is a way for the McNabs to isolate themselves and protect their family from potential conflict or influence from Maniac Magee.
he wanted to show him that all whites arent that bad and he wanted to be his friend
He had no control of Russell and Piper anymore. :( sad book.
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.
