This was another great addition to the New Kid series. I loved getting to visit Jordan, Drew, and their friends again. My students were also very excited to hear that there was a third book coming out soon, so I got cool teacher points when I said I got to read an early copy of it. This had all the lighthearted depth that both the first two books had, that made me laugh and think, a tricky yet elegant combination that Craft excels in. I especially loved the storyline with Andy, and all the conversations he had with various members of the group on their trip. I loved that his storyline was not abandoned, but was not tied up in a nice bow, either. It felt so raw and real, and that made it feel all the more impactful. I cannot wait to purchase a hard copy to add to my classroom library! Definitely recommend this if you enjoyed the first two--it will not disappoint.
