Book description
Jerry Craft's New Kid isn't just a landmark-it's a seismic shift in children's literature. The first graphic novel to win the Newbery Medal, Kirkus Prize, and Coretta Scott King Author Award, it arrives as an audiobook that transforms its visual storytelling into something unexpectedly powerful. Narrator Jonathan Todd Ross masterfully embodies Jordan Banks, Seventh grader navigating the minefield of Riverdale Academy Day School-a prestigious private institution where he's one of few students of color. Ross captures Jordan's sharp wit, quiet anxiety, and the exhausting weight of constantly being "the other" with effortless nuance.
You hear the rhythm of Jordan's daily commute: the clatter of the bus from Washington Heights to Riverdale, the nervous chuckle when he's asked, "What are you?" Ross makes the unspoken tension palpable-the way Jordan's voice tightens when he's the only Black kid in the room, or the way he retreats into his sketchbook to process it all. The audiobook's strength lies in how it amplifies the book's core conflict without visuals: Jordan's struggle isn't just about fitting in, but about who he must become to do so. The humor-Jordan's deadpan observations about school culture, the "diversity" committee's awkwardness-lands perfectly through Ross's timing.
Craft's storytelling is refreshingly unflinching. This isn't a sanitized "diversity" tale; it's a raw, specific portrait of microaggressions, code-switching, and the cost of erasing yourself to belong. The audiobook makes these moments visceral. You feel Jordan's frustration when his art teacher dismisses his style as "too urban," or his relief when he finds a friend who sees him. Ross avoids melodrama, letting the quiet moments speak loudest-the hesitation before a reply, the sigh of exhaustion after a long day of performing.
What elevates this beyond a "good book" is its universal truth. Every reader, regardless of background, has felt that split-second decision: adapt or stay true? Jordan's journey-his battles with identity, his fierce loyalty to his neighborhood crew, his growing self-awareness-isn't just his story. It's a mirror for anyone who's ever wondered, "Which version of me is real?" The audiobook's pacing mirrors Jordan's own emotional arc: steady, deliberate, building to moments where the weight of it all hits hard.
Craft's historic awards aren't just accolades-they're proof this isn't just about Black childhood. It's a masterclass in how to tell a story that's both deeply personal and universally resonant. The audiobook adaptation doesn't just deliver the narrative; it makes you hear the silence between the lines, the unspoken fears, the quiet courage it takes to say, "This is me." It's essential listening-not just for young readers, but for anyone who's ever felt like they didn't belong.
