APA: Craft, J. (2019). New kid. HarperCollins.
Genre: Fiction, Graphic Novel
Summary: Jordan is starting a new school, Riverdale Academy Day School which is known to be a mostly white and private school. He quickly notices that he is one of the fewest students of color in the school. This story shows how he handles going to school here while trying to keep his old friends at Washington Heights. This book follows him throughout his 7th grade school year and by the end of the year he feels much more comfortable at this school.
Target Audience: The target audience for this book would be for 4th-6th grade. I also feel that this book would be good for students that feel ‘different’ or like an outsider or even the feeling of being the new kid in school.
Blog Requirements: Middle Grades Readers (grades 3-5) and Supports a Diverse Protagonist
