Class Act by Jerry Craft
2.0
I received this through Edelweiss in exchange for an honest review.
This continuation of the world developed in New Kid stands on its own. While the focus shifts from Jordan to Drew and Liam. It addresses the racial divide that can be found in affluent schools. Instances where the white majority pushes microaggressions against minority students. If you loved the first book, you will be thrilled with the followup. The author has hidden Easter eggs and symbolism, which enhances the opportunities to give the text a detailed look and spend time discussing it.
Honestly, I wasn't a fan of the Easter eggs or symbolism, it felt obvious and corny. I thought that this book could have been more nuanced. I still struggle with the art, objects in the scenes felt like stickers added after the frame was finished. This is all personal preference, because the readers love New Kid and will enjoy this one as well.
