OMG! You're reading Maniac Magee? I love that book! Difference: With Amanda he's nicer, and gentler with her. It's because he loves her, and her family. So he treats her like a sister. With Mars Bar he shows him his tougher side, since M.B. is a bully to him. Similar: He cares about them both, despite the fact that Mars Bar is mean to him, and Amanda can be bossy at times.
