School Trip | 
“Oooh! I hope we all get picked to go to Paris!”
This would be a good novel to recommend to students in the 4th-6th grade range as there is a good amount of text, but has characters and situations they can relate to.

This graphic novel is about a group of kids on a school field trip in a foreign country. The colors in the illustrations are more of a pastel palette, and there are lots of speech bubbles in each panel. Some pages have too many panels in my opinion, and it can get confusing but for the most part the narrative is easy to follow. I like the drawing style with dark, bold lines.
pickThis is the third book in the New Kid series and it shows Jordan on a trip with his new friends. This book includes a lot of different cultural representations and is all around a great read
pickLiked this book. Had some funny moments and things I would‘ve related to in middle school
"Ah! So even though I didn't ask, you still needed to tell me.see?"
pickI just love Jerry Craft‘s graphic novels. I‘m excited to hear New Kid is being made into a movie!!

All caught up and current on the New Kid series. In this installment Jordan and his friends are off on a school trip to Paris. Not my favorite in the series but still a fun read.
My kids who claim they don‘t read for fun are now playing rock paper scissors over this book. 🤣
Highly recommend this series well beyond the recommended age range.
pick⭐️⭐️⭐️ Some really fantastic, impactful dialogue, but over all, I wasn‘t a great fan of the story. Although this one doesn‘t quite measure up the the previous books, the New Kid series is a must read. I‘m saving these for my boys. They‘ll be ready for them soon!
pick3.5 ⭐ This is book 3 in Jerri Craft‘s book about the Riverdale Academy Day school. Book one won a Newberry. book 2 was a Class Act, and book 3 is semi-boring. It has taken this reader over three months to finish this middle grade graphic novel. The beginning of it reads very much like the first book does where Jordan once again is feeling nervous and anxious. Only this time changing schools is picking the right high school.
My current beverage, snack and read while at my last day of work for the holidays. #winterreadathonchallenge @Andrew65
