School Trip by Jerry Craft
5.0
Our middle school aged son previously read and loved New Kid and Class Act and so he was super excited to check this one out. These books are a perfect balance of being totally engaging and readable, while also speaking to so many important and relatable topics they encounter (or hear about) in their daily lives.
Craft doesn't gloss over so many tough issues, and I love that this book sparks conversation, amidst the readers peers, teachers and parents. Our kids are growing up in a world so different from our own, but I love that they don't ever have to walk alone. Books like this that take a nuanced look at racism, prejudices, microaggressions, relationships, worries and fears promote conversation and understanding, and help raise even better humans.
Thank you to NetGalley and Quill Tree Books for my gifted review copy.
