Summary

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.
The audiobook was a 2020
Audie Awards Finalist for Middle Grade and named an Audible Best Audiobook of
the Year.

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?

This original full-cast audio adaptation of the graphic novel is
