New Kid is a timely, honest graphic novel about  starting over at a new school where diversity is low and the struggle to  fit in is real, from award-winning author-illustrator Jerry Craft.  

Seventh grader Jordan Banks loves nothing more than drawing cartoons  about his life. But instead of sending him to the art school of his  dreams, his parents enroll him in a prestigious private school known for  its academics, where Jordan is one of the few kids of color in his  entire grade.

As he makes the daily trip from his Washington  Heights apartment to the upscale Riverdale Academy Day School, Jordan  soon finds himself torn between two worlds—and not really fitting into  either one. Can Jordan learn to navigate his new school culture while  keeping his neighborhood friends and staying true to himself?
