New Kid
by Jerry Craft
This graphic novel is the perfect middle grade / junior high adventure of starting at a new school. It covers SO many topics and doesn't managed to get too bogged down by any of them.
The story explores racism, colorism, micro-aggressions, class, judgements, coping mechanisms... and so much more. But it's also just a sweet story about finding friendship and feeling like you belong in a new place.
I can definitely see why this graphic novel is an award winner. It's cute. It's fun. It's quirky. It's smart. It's something for everyone.
