*About the book*

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?

Universal Pictures has acquired film rights to* New Kid*, with LeBron
James’ The Spring Hill Company on board to develop and produce. Craft will
be an Executive Producer.
