Maniac  Magee by Jerry Spinelli
          Jeffery, or Maniac, as the people of Two Mills begin to call him, is an orphan who ran away from his aunt and uncle one day after a school concert. He is looking for a home and seems destined to come close, but not always get there. In Two Mills he discovers some wonderful people, but some very strange rules - at least he thinks so. When Maniac begins to push back on one rule in particular, the whole town begins to sit up and take notice.
