Maniac Magee by Jerry Spinelli
In a tale of adventure and heart, a young boy becomes a legend in a racially divided town as he embarks on a journey of self-discovery and belonging. Orphaned and homeless, he runs away to a new town, where his extraordinary athletic abilities and fearless nature earn him the nickname "Maniac." As he navigates the challenges of prejudice and social barriers, he forms unlikely friendships and becomes a symbol of hope and unity, showing that courage and kindness can bridge even the deepest divides.
