    Three years ago, after reading Maniac Magee with my class, a
    student brought in a home recorded VHS tape from TV of the
    movie. The quality was poor, and frankly, the movie was not
    well done. It was not true to the story, and my students were
    disappointed with the major changes made to the plot. At then
    end, Maniac and Amanda were actually portrayed as
    boyfriend/girlfriend. I would not recommend the movie or any
    further search for it.
