I love this book! A boy, given the nickname of Maniac, is in search of a place to call home after his parents died in a tragic accident when he was 3 and he was sent to live with an aunt and uncle who share a house separately but refuse to divorce because of their Catholic faith. Jeffrey has had enough with them and during a choral concert, takes off running and doesn't look back. He arrives in Two Mills - which is split into West End and East End, whites and blacks. Here, in his new town, he makes friends, enemies, and fans, but will he find an address to claim as his?
