After loving "Maniac Magee" for the greater part of my life, I was enthralled to stumble upon another Spinelli work at the library. However, I was gravely disappointed by "Milkweed". The novel really isn't believable. There aren't plot holes or anything, it's actually very well pieced together...but it's about a Jew (who really doesn't know if he's a Jew) who wants to be a Nazi in 1940's Germany. He's basically a homeless boy taken in by some Jewish homeless boys. They run around and steal food. The novel really doesn't go anywhere until it's abrupt end.
