New Kid

 New Kid by Jerry Craft

In the graphic novel, New Kid, Jordan loves art and has a dream to go to art school. His parents being the supportive ground for him influence him on starting a new institute that will allow him to expand his dream. The setting is different for him making him feel out of place and confused at first. After time he realizes that being himself is all he needs in order to be happy. This book is great for middle schoolers because it is at the same age that they begin to figure who they are as individuals and can learn to love themselves!
