This book is a good book to teach kids a lesson when they don't think they are learning the lesson. I think every kid wants to runaway at some time. Maniac really did run away. Seeing him keep on running makes you not really want to run away after all. This book is good at making you think about who is allowed to be a part of a comunity. I really liked this book and am looking forward to reading it again. Rating: *****
