Middle Grade Monday: School Trip by Jerry Craft

School Trip by Jerry Craft. 256 p. Quill Tree Books/ HarperCollins Publishers, April, 2023. (Review of finished purchased copy.)

Oops! Forgot to post this yesterday! Happy Monday! What an awful, rainy weekend! Driving in the rain is just the pits and I had to drive to and from Massachusetts this  weekend! Thank goodness it was for a happy event and I had an excellent audiobook (tune in on Tuesday). 

Since TMS is winding down class trip season, now seems to be a good day to feature School Trip by Jerry Craft for Middle Grade Monday. Jordan is finishing eighth grade at Riverdale Middle School. He's excited for his upcoming school trip to Paris. He and his friends have plans to room together and roam the City of Lights. They don't count on their fave teachers not being able to make the trip nor are they happy that Andy will be a roommate. When Jordan receives an acceptance letter to his dream art school, he surprised that his joy is tempered with worry.

This third installment in the New Kid series is just as insightful, hilarious and endearing as the two previous books, the Newbery-winning, New Kid and Class Act. Happy reading and happy May Day!
