October Book Review
Title: New Kid – Graph Novel
Author: Jerry Craft
“New Kid” is a story about 12-year-old Jordan Banks who aspires to become a cartoonist, so wants to attend a local art school. His parents feel there is no financial stability in a career as a cartoonist, so they sent him to a private school on the opposite side of town called Riverdale Academy Day (RAD).
RAD is in a wealthy neighborhood on the opposite side of town from where Jordan lives. The school and its community are both a different world from Jordan’s neighborhood of Washington Heights. Torn between two worlds and not fitting into either, Jordan tries to balance his relationship with new friends at school and those in his neighborhood. Can he navigate his two worlds while staying true to himself?
Jerry Craft’s “New Kid” is a funny and heartfelt graphic novel about school, friendship and race. It is also the 2020 winner of the Newbery Book Award, which makes it the first graphic novel to receive this prestigious honor. Recommended for middle school students, it is a must-read book!
