<p><span style="color:rgb(192,57,43)"></span></p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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?</p>
<p>Universal Pictures has acquired film rights to<em> New Kid</em>, with LeBron James’ The Spring Hill Company on board to develop and produce. Craft will be an Executive Producer.</p>
