In this book, Jordan goes international (Paris, France!) and contemplates the person he’s becoming, especially with a school change on the horizon. With the Paris setting, the cultural differences between France and America are briefly mentioned as well.

I really think the audience for this book is for readers who do not experience or are unaware of racial microaggressions. In addition, there are classist and religious microaggressions in this book. These things are stated very obviously and blatantly, but, if this inspires empathy and understanding, that's great. 

The artwork can be stiff at times, but Jordan’s doodles have a lot of personality and charm. I looked forward to his segments. I also enjoyed the subplot with Ashley and Alexandra. I thought it was going to veer into showing that some kids prefer to be alone and it’s okay, but it went another direction. 

Overall, some of the jokes were corny or a bit too on the nose, but this still will be an engaging read for kids. It starts off a bit slow, but I liked the earnest way it tried to address issues.
