Purchase options and add-ons

New York Times bestselling author Jerry Craft returns with a companion book to New Kid, winner of the 2020 Newbery Medal, the Coretta Scott King Author Award, and the Kirkus Prize. This time, it’s Jordan’s friend Drew who takes center stage in another laugh-out-loud funny, powerful, and important story about being one of the few kids of color in a prestigious private school.

Eighth grader Drew Ellis is no stranger to the saying “You have to work twice as hard to be just as good.” His grandmother has reminded him his entire life. But what if he works ten times as hard and still isn’t afforded the same opportunities that his privileged classmates at the Riverdale Academy Day School take for granted?

To make matters worse, Drew begins to feel as if his good friend Liam might be one of those privileged kids. He wants to pretend like everything is fine, but it's hard not to withdraw, and even their mutual friend Jordan doesn't know how to keep the group together.

As the pressures mount, will Drew find a way to bridge the divide so he and his friends can truly accept each other? And most important, will he finally be able to accept himself?

New Kid, the first graphic novel to win the Newbery Medal, is now joined by Jerry Craft's powerful Class Act.

This is base on friendships and how each kid lives are completely different with some things I'm common. We mostly get Drew's pov and his ups and downs. .
This is a funny story but in a way that's teaching lessons .

I'm always buying books. It's hard to find ones that my middle school age son enjoys reading. This one hit the mark. I think he really enjoyed the comic book style and the story. This is one book of three and we've now purchased and read all of them.

If you're here in the comments it means you're considering purchasing this book. I'm here to tell you that it's a great buy and you should do it.

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.

For context, I’m a fifth grade teacher and bought this book as a read aloud for my class.

Each chapter in the book focuses in on something that sparked deep class wide conversations where the kids had to think about the situation presented, apply it to their own lives and realize they’ve been there before.

I can’t recommend this book enough and can’t wait for another part!

4.0 out of 5 stars 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.

I try to buy books that provide my son with some diverse characters, and circumstances different than his own. This book and the other series are really well done. Engaging, and raise some important issues in a way he finds interesting. He was 9 when he read book 1, and just turned 10 when we got boom 2. He had re-read each multiple times.
