📖Recommend for Grades 6 and up📖
by Jerry Craft
Jordan Banks is disappointed that
his parents won’t let him attend art school but a prestigious academic school
instead. It’s hard enough being a new kid and being a mixed-race kid from
Washington Heights, in a predominately white school, doesn’t seem to help
matters. As he spends more time in school, Jordan finds himself torn between
two worlds and struggles with fitting into both.
Jordan may be the new kid in school,
but anybody who feels or ever felt out of place can find themselves relating
to him. The cast of characters in this book is a great mix, and readers are
likely to have a favorite. Each chapter title is a fun pun that just adds to
the feel of the book. While everyone should give this graphic novel a try,
those entering middle school or starting school as the new kid should
especially read this.
