New Kid

It's never easy being the new kid in school, but when 12-year-old Jordan Banks transfers to a mostly white prep school instead of the art school he wanted to attend, he encounters a whole host of problems he never experienced in his neighborhood of Washington Heights. New Kid won the John Newberry Medal for children's literature and a Coretta Scott King Award, too, but it has appeal to all ages. Jordan is an engaging, observant, and artistic protagonist. The series is punctuated with gentle humor from his drawings and cartoons. Teens and grown-ups, if you were ever "the only" or one of a few Black kids in your school, I promise, you will feel seen and heard. Jordan Banks is all of us.
