Class Act by Jerry Craft
5.0

Jerry Craft is the real class act here.

Not only does he tell a good story, he weaves in literary allusions too numerous to list (plus, you need to have fun finding them all).

Not only does he give white readers a window into life as a Black kid in a predominantly white school, he never shies away from showing us how pathetic our efforts towards "diversity" and "inclusion" are compared to the work kids do when we get out of the way. (I'm talking cringe-worthily authentic white characters. Oof.)
