Book Overview

Winner of the Newbery Medal, Coretta Scott King Author Award, and Kirkus Prize for Young Readers' Literature

Perfect for fans of Raina Telgemeier and Gene Luen Yang, New Kid is a timely, honest graphic novel about starting over at a new school where diversity is low and the struggle to fit in is real, from award-winning author-illustrator Jerry Craft.

Seventh grader Jordan Banks loves nothing more than drawing cartoons about his life. But instead of sending him to the art school of his dreams, his parents enroll him in a prestigious private school known for its academics, where Jordan is one of the few kids of color in his entire grade.

As he makes the daily trip from his Washington Heights apartment to the upscale Riverdale Academy Day School, Jordan soon finds himself torn between two worlds--and not really fitting into either one. Can Jordan learn to navigate his new school culture while keeping his neighborhood friends and staying true to himself?

This middle grade graphic novel is an excellent choice for tween readers, including for summer reading.

New Kid is a selection of the Schomburg Center's Black Liberation Reading List.

   New kids in unrealistic school
White teachers are disrespected in the political tool of the left There are many unlikely events of this school day and the hate from this young boy comes through. There is a danger of hatred for people.

   Stereotypical
I bought this book for my child to learn more about social issues. I was disappointed that I purchased it. Everyone he encounters is stereotypical and racist. I mean everyone. The most disappointing part was that. It does help to discuss difficult topics more openly if you read it with me.

   Not appropriate for kids
There is no chance my child is reading this book, I wish I had looked into it more before purchasing it. The book makes people of certain races look bad and is a shame to kids who need to understand diversity.

   the plot was quite slow
I buy the Newbery and Caldecott winners when they are announced. A new graphic novel was going to be in the classroom. The book is not as big of a hit as I had hoped. This book is a review written by one of my students. There was no crazy exciting stuff in the book. That is what I look for in a book. The plot was very slow. I like the main character. I would recommend this book to teenagers. A lot of older people think that books with slow plots are better than younger kids think. I am young.

   Comic book....
This would be great if your child likes comic style books. We don't like the style of comic books. I need to do more research.
