Great follow up to New Kid

Reviewed in the United States on November 19, 2020

This is the follow up book to Craft's "New Kid". This story centers around Drew, whose Grandmother has always told him that he will have to work "twice as hard to be half as good". He goes to the privledged school of Riverdale Academy, but he isn't privledged himself. He attends the academy on an academic scholarship and isn't sure how he fits in among his peers.

He is invited to his friend Liam's house for the day and finds out how wealthy his friend really is. This puts a strain on their friendship and their mutual friend Jordan tries to figure out a way to bring them back together.

My daughter and I have been really enjoying reading this middle grade graphic novels together. We enjoyed "New Kids" quite a bit, so when we discovered this book on an outing the other day, we had to have it. IT was just as good as Craft's first novel. It has a nice message, some good humor, and some good talking points. I hope he continues to write more, because we are now fans.

Check it out.

Horrible stereotypes that are inaccurate

Reviewed in the United States on October 20, 2021

I found this book to be highly offensive and seemed to create issues where none existed. I am offended by some of the ridiculous stereotypes in this book and further offended that my child was required to read this

My son is 12 and not an avid reader. In fact, he hates reading. Sadly, his school library does not have any books with African American illustrated characters. I wanted to find something relatable for him. I also wanted to find a book he would read to help with his Accelerated Reader points. He read this fast and shared it with a classmate when he was done. I have since purchased all books by this author and he read them all! Highly recommended!

Apart from the great story, my 10 yo daughter loved the meticulous graphics for example the guy with dreadlocks who appears in both books for one frame to comment Jordan is making freaky moves

A wonderful graphic novel showing the power of kindness, empathy & compassion. The art is amazing & the characters are relatable. Purchased this after we enjoyed the first book, “New Kid” & this book did not disappoint.
Don’t believe those that label this book as “CRT” or as anti-white. It is neither of those. It’s a wholesome & relatable story that shows how powerful empathy & unity are - valuable traits for any young person to develop.
