Beschreibung

<p><strong><em>New York<br>Times </em></strong><strong>bestselling author Jerry Craft returns with a companion book<br>to <em>New Kid</em>, winner of the 2020 Newbery Medal, the Coretta<br>Scott King Author Award, and the Kirkus Prize. This time, it’s Jordan’s friend<br>Drew who takes center stage in another laugh-out-loud funny, powerful, and<br>important story about being one of the few kids of color in a prestigious<br>private school.</strong></p><br><p>Eighth<br>grader Drew Ellis is no stranger to the saying “You have to work twice as hard<br>to be just as good.” His grandmother has reminded him his entire life. But what<br>if he works <em>ten</em> times as hard and still isn’t afforded the<br>same opportunities that his privileged classmates at the Riverdale Academy Day School take for granted?</p><br><p>To make matters worse, Drew begins to feel as if his good<br>friend Liam might be one of those privileged kids. He wants to pretend like<br>everything is fine, but it's hard not to withdraw, and even their mutual friend<br>Jordan doesn't know how to keep the group together.</p><br><p>As the<br>pressures mount, will Drew find a way to bridge the divide so he and his<br>friends can truly accept each other? And most important, will he finally be<br>able to accept himself?</p><p><strong><em>New Kid</em>, the first graphic novel to win the Newbery Medal, is now joined by Jerry Craft's powerful <em>Class Act</em>.</strong></p>
