New Kid by Jerry Craft
4.0
4/5
Definitely a must-read for children!! I think it would be great for teachers to read this with their class and discuss how Jordan, Drew, Ramon, Maury, and Ruby are treated differently than their classmates because they’re minorities in a predominantly white, upper-middle class school. Lots of valuable lessons *and* FUN in this book! It was a nice change to read a book that covers racism and micro-aggressions but is still at heart a goofy middle schooler’s adventure.
