15. Do you think the title fits the book? Why or why not?

I think that the title fits the book because Jeffery Magee earned the name "Maniac" by doing things that were almost impossible. Also I think that the title fits the book because that's what everyone from both sides of town were calling him. Thirdly it is a good title because "Maniac" means an insane person and that's what Maniac Magee did.
