Class ACT

　　青澀而真實的校園日常，優越感的作祟，生而平等的謊言，對幼小的心靈而言，卻有著南轅北轍的境遇。

　　接續New Kid，這次的故事圍繞在喬丹的朋友，八年級的德威（Drew Ellis）身上，德威從小就被外婆告誡，要加倍努力才能與外人比拚。但如果即便他拚上十倍的努力，卻還是沒辦法獲得和同學一樣的機會呢？追根究底，就只因為他的膚色？

　　德威試著想從容融入大家，卻十分困難。他最終能找到破除藩籬的方法，同時保有自我嗎？

　　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. 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?

　　New Kid, the first graphic novel to win the Newbery Medal, is now joined by Jerry Craft's powerful Class Act.
