Please help me! Thank you!! (The book is Maniac Magee by Jerry Spinelli)
Summarize what happened to Jeffrey's parents using the summary strategy: somebody, wanted, but, so, then.

Jeffrey Lionel Magee is living a normal life until his parents are killed in a tragic trolley accident when he's three. He's sent to live with his Aunt Dot and Uncle Dan, and, despite Dot's sporty name, it's not a fun household. Uncle Dan and Aunt Dot are strict Catholics who hate each other, meaning Maniac grows up in a loveless, largely silent house. When he's 11-years-old, he's finally had enough, and takes off running. Yup, literally running. He runs for a couple hundred miles and a year, and ends up in Two Mills, Pennsylvania. Maniac doesn't know it yet, but Two Mills is a divided town. (Okay, well, maybe the name should have been a clue.) The East and West End are separated by Hector Street. Maniac's first stop is the East End, where he meets Amanda Beale and her suitcase of books. Maniac goes back and forth between the East and West End, making a few friends, but mostly enemies, and for some reason never really noticing that the West End is entirely white and the East End is entirely blackWhen the Beales realizes that Maniac is homeless, they take him in as a member of their family. Life is great for a while, but eventually the East Enders start getting him down. See, not everyone loves the idea of a white kid living with a black family in a black neighborhood. So Maniac (after a quick detour solving Cobble's Knot) takes off.Long story short, he moves in with a buffalo family and then meets Earl Grayson, a washed-up former minor leaguer. Things are really hunky dory for a while: Maniac's got a dad, Grayson learns to read, they celebrate Thanksgiving and Christmas. And then Grayson dies. And Maniac is alone. Again. Maniac's not doing so well this time, and ends up cold, starving, and alone in Valley Forge. Good thing Russell and Piper McNab find him on their way to Mexico. These two little hoodlums provide a reason for Maniac to stick around for a while, in a nasty nasty house filled with some nasty nasty people.

But the little McNabs need Maniac, and he steps up. Eventually, Maniac leaves them behind as well to move back in with Baby Buffalo and his mom. (Really.) He's living there when his frenemy Mars Bar Thompson and his adopted sister/BFF Amanda Beale find him and make him come home. That's right, home. To his family. It looks like Maniac has finally found what he's looking for.

Afri Lionel Maggie lived a normal life until her parents were killed in a tragic wheelchair accident when three parents were sent to live with Aunt Dot and Uncle Dawn. Dot's sporty name, but not Uncle Dan's and Aunt Dot's, funny family is definitely Catholic and hates each other, which means the crazy man grew up a quiet, mostly homeless person when he was 11 Was of the year In the end, he had enough and left the run. Yes, literally ran away. He ran two hundred miles a year and finished at two mills. Pennsylvania madness is not yet known but Two Mills is a divided city. (Well, the name might be a hint.) Hector Street is the east-west and west-east end, separated from the first stop by the madman, where he meets Amanda Bell and her book bag. The maniac walks back and forth between the East and the West End, making a few friends, but mostly enemies, and for some reason he never noticed that the west end was completely white and the east was completely black. They accept him as a member of their family. Life is great for a while, but over time the East Enders start to spoil it, you see, not everyone likes the idea of ​​a white baby living in a black family (so the Kobla knot spins quickly). A long story, he passes to the Buffalo Family, and then washes himself, meets a former minor Earl of Grayson. For a while, everything gets really annoying: the maniac gets a father, ysreyson learns to read, they celebrate Thanksgiving and Christmas. Then Grayson died, and the maniac was left alone again. Good things Russell and Piper McNab found on his way to Mexico. The low Maniak fool gives some reason to stay home full of bad people worse . But little McNabs needs to go crazy and move on
