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.
"Stories for Gramp's Little Friends," is a book of love containing
twenty-six short stories. They were written for and read to his
grandchildren, which gave enjoyment to him and them.
Some of the ideas for the stories came from the different
subjects of Mrs. Finch's kindergarten class in rural Arkansas. The
author's stories promote good manners, love, laughter, sharing,
safety, and especially friendship. The stories are enjoyable
reading for all ages.
