Jeffrey Lionel Magee is an orphan. He runs away from loveless aunt and uncle and settles into a small town which is racially divided. As he interacts with the different families from both "sides", he realizes the similarities, not the differences. Using his incredible abilities, he brings people together.
This book will encourage lots of discussion.
Pair with The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane by Kate DiCamillo (discuss similarities).
*Highly recommend.
-I own this book.
Points to discuss/warnings: racial issues, violence, swearing, underage drinking, child neglect
