ck61's review against another edition

I started to read too many books at a time so I decided to cut out graphic novels.

A satisfying new installment in the New Kid series from funny, talented, charming Jerry Craft! I appreciated how this volume started to complicate some of the students who had been left a bit one-dimensional in previous books. Several people stood up to and called out a bully; new friendships were built; and Jordan Banks left Paris even more inspired than ever to follow his dreams of becoming an artist. This series has a lot of jokes, but also a lot of heart!

A fun third installment in this series that focuses on a class trip to Paris where lots of things go wrong. As always in Craft's graphic novels, there are some fantastic observations about race, class, and privilege, and Craft also manages to make points about book banning in this one. The trip itself is chaotic, and one of the students has to learn some hard lessons about why his racist and downright aggressive behaviors are not okay. Kids who loved the first two books will surely enjoy this new adventure with characters they've already grown to love.
