This is such a great series. I loved seeing these characters going to Paris and enjoying themselves. It was nice to get to know side characters more. Highly recommended for all middle grade but was also very enjoyable for this adult.

Craft continues to document real conversations between kids and adults about race and class, and as stated in the afterword, it feels important for kids of marginalized identities to see themselves traveling abroad.

Off to Paris, but the microaggressions and learning opportunities for Liam and Andy are coming along. Loved getting to know Maury better!

**Thank you, NetGalley and the publisher, for giving me an eARC of this book in exchange for an honest review. All opinions are my own.**
This is an amazing conclusion to a fun, thought-provoking graphic novel series.
Jordan and his classmates take on Paris in Jerry Crafts newest graphic novel, School Trip. On top of the amazing sights and yummy foods, the kids and adults learn many things about themselves, including how their actions impact others, no matter their perception.
Craft has always had a knack for narrowing down the systemic issues in a comprehensible, real-world-relatable kind of way. From systemic racism and classism to censorship and book bannings. Craft does it all in an approachable format.
I will continue to recommend and share this series.

This was another great addition to the New Kid series. I loved getting to visit Jordan, Drew, and their friends again. My students were also very excited to hear that there was a third book coming out soon, so I got cool teacher points when I said I got to read an early copy of it. This had all the lighthearted depth that both the first two books had, that made me laugh and think, a tricky yet elegant combination that Craft excels in. I especially loved the storyline with Andy, and all the conversations he had with various members of the group on their trip. I loved that his storyline was not abandoned, but was not tied up in a nice bow, either. It felt so raw and real, and that made it feel all the more impactful. I cannot wait to purchase a hard copy to add to my classroom library! Definitely recommend this if you enjoyed the first two--it will not disappoint.
