I'm in my manga/graphic novel era. I devoured everything. From Children to Adult genre.
This one is pretty cute with lots 0f great messages.
I didn't know that this is the 3rd in a series though, my mistake for not checking it first.
So yeah I missed the character development and because I'm not the target audience (I'm too old hahaha) felt the joke is not funny.
Overall it's a fun middle grade read.

This was one of my most anticipated reads of 2023 and when I found out that it was being released in my birthday month. You couldn’t have found a happier person than me that day. Happy to say that this graphic novel was worth the wait. Everything was handled beautifully! It’s realistic yet handled those uncomfortable real talks beautifully. Sadly they were realistic in the fact that no matter how many times you tell someone a lesson/fact that they just won’t fully hear/understand it. Small improvements may happen but they may never be who we need them to be. It’s sad but true. The Andy character was definitely needed to showcase this fact (even though he’s still pretty unbearable). Hopefully time (and therapy someone has to make this happen) will help make him more tolerable.

A great third installment of this series. I always appreciate Jerry's dedication to the craft (wink) and this is no exception. One of my favorite parts of Class Act were the various nods to popular graphic novels and I appreciated there was a little bit of that in this one too.
I loved all three of the New Kid books! To me, what I appreciate the most is that it's a combination of getting kids to think about things while also being a great story with characters who feel like real kids. And I especially love when creators give nods to each other in their works!
“A Butterfly with Butterflies in my Stomach” (chapter 3 start) would be a good way to start the school year and/or narrative unit on change
