Winner of the Newbery Medal, Coretta Scott King Author Award, and Kirkus Prize for Young Readers’ Literature! 

Perfect for fans of Raina Telgemeier and Gene Luen Yang, New Kid is a timely, honest graphic novel about starting over at a new school where diversity is low and the struggle to fit in is real, from award-winning author-illustrator Jerry Craft. 

Seventh grader Jordan Banks loves nothing more than drawing cartoons about his life. But instead of sending him to the art school of his dreams, his parents enroll him in a prestigious private school known for its academics, where Jordan is one of the few kids of color in his entire grade.

As he makes the daily trip from his Washington Heights apartment to the upscale Riverdale Academy Day School, Jordan soon finds himself torn between two worlds—and not really fitting into either one. Can Jordan learn to navigate his new school culture while keeping his neighborhood friends and staying true to himself?

This middle grade graphic novel is an excellent choice for tween readers, including for summer reading.

New Kid is a selection of the Schomburg Center's Black Liberation Reading List.

The Irish fiddle book

I bought this a while back. The first day I received it I played through the first 54 pages. It was very informative and I like what I have heard a lot. Looking to open it up again tomorrow.no problems with the pages staking flat!

I love the spiral bound, it makes reading an enjoyment! It reminds me of my student years that I used to have spiral bound books! At the beginning I had doubts but now that I am using it, it's worth every penny. Currently, I am on chapter 4 and it's really helpful so far, especially the worksheets. I can't wait to move on to the next chapters and learn more about CBT!
