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?
