Maniac Magee Jerry Spinelli

Jerry Spinelli (born February 1, 1941) is an American author of children's novels on adolescence and early adulthood. He is best known for the novels Maniac Magee and Wringer. Spinelli was born in Norristown, Pennsylvania and currently resides in Phoenixville, PA. At the age of sixteen, his love of sports inspired him to compose a poem about a recent football victory. Later, unbeknownst to him, his father published it in the local newspaper. It was at this time he realized that he would not become a major league football player, and decided to become a writer instead. Jerry Spinelli
