New Kid audiobook by Jerry Craft

In the hustle and bustle of my morning commute, I found solace in the world of New Kid audiobook by Jerry Craft. As I sat on the crowded train, surrounded by the noise of fellow commuters, I escaped into the captivating story of Jordan Banks, a seventh-grade boy with a passion for drawing cartoons.

Jerry Craft’s writing style is simply wonderful. He effortlessly weaves together a tale that is both entertaining and thought-provoking. The multiple narrators, including Nile Bullock, Robin Miles, Peyton Lusk, and Marc Thompson, bring the characters to life with their impeccable performances. Their voices blend seamlessly, creating a truly immersive listening experience.

Jordan’s journey as he navigates his way through an elite school is relatable on so many levels. His struggles with fitting in and finding his place in a world that sees him as different are heart-wrenching yet inspiring. Craft beautifully captures the complexities of adolescence and the importance of staying true to oneself.

New Kid is more than just a children’s audiobook; it is a powerful exploration of identity, friendship, and self-acceptance. It teaches valuable lessons about embracing diversity and challenging societal expectations. As an adult listener, I was moved by Jordan’s story and found myself reflecting on my own experiences growing up.
