📖 New Kid

New Kid is about an African American student named Jordan Banks who is the "new kid" in Riverdale Academy Day School, a prestigious and majority white school that is worlds different from his previous school in his small neighborhood. As one of the few black students and also coming from a somewhat disadvantaged neighborhood, Jordan struggles to fit in as he deals with passive racism and makes few friends. His new and prestigious education creates a rift between him and his old buddies from his old school, and to make matters worse, Jordan faces tough treatment from his homeroom teacher. However, Jordan tries his best to get through the hectic school year by pursuing his hobbies of drawing comics and making art. I recommend this book because it deals with multitudes of issues plaguing students' lives such as racism, bullying, teacher favoritism, and even financial differences. Since all of these factors affect Jordan's life, this book provides interesting and crucial insight into the life of a student of color who struggles to fit in. Moreover, the book is easy to understand and teaches readers valuable lessons on forgiveness and compassion.

《新孩子》讲述了一位名叫乔丹·班克斯 (Jordan Banks) 的非裔美国学生的故事,他是河谷学院走读学校 (Riverdale Academy Day School) 的"新孩子",这是一所著名的、以白人为主的学校,与他所在小社区以前的学校截然不同。 作为为数不多的黑人学生之一,而且也来自一个较为弱势的社区,乔丹很难融入社会,因为他应对消极的种族主义,也很少交朋友。 他的新的、享有盛誉的教育在他和他原来学校的老朋友之间造成了裂痕,更糟糕的是,乔丹还面临班主任的严厉对待。 然而,乔丹尽最大努力通过追求画漫画和艺术创作的爱好来度过忙碌的学年。 我推荐这本书是因为它涉及了困扰学生生活的许多问题,例如种族主义、欺凌、老师偏袒,甚至经济差异。 由于所有这些因素都影响着乔丹的生活,这本书为一个努力融入社会的有色人种学生的生活提供了有趣而重要的洞察。此外,这本书很容易理解,并教给读者关于宽恕和同情心的宝贵课程。

Seventh grader Jordan Banks loves nothing more than drawing cartoons about his life. But instead of sending him to the art school of his dreams, his parents enroll him in a prestigious private school known for its academics, where Jordan is one of the few kids of color in his entire grade. As he makes the daily trip from his Washington Heights apartment to the upscale Riverdale Academy Day School, Jordan soon finds himself torn between two worlds—and not really fitting into either one. Can Jordan learn to navigate his new school culture while keeping his neighborhood friends and staying true to himself? My Recommendation: Newbery Medal Winner Although it is a lower level book, it doesn't take away how dynamic, expressive, and funny this graphic novel is. It touches real life problems such as the hostility of others but still being appropriate for kids.

七年级学生乔丹班克斯最喜欢画关于他生活的漫画。但他的父母并没有把他送到他梦想中的艺术学校,而是让他进入了一所以学术着称的著名私立学校,乔丹是他整个年级中为数不多的有色人种孩子之一。当他每天从华盛顿高地的公寓到高档的里弗代尔学院走读学校时,乔丹很快就发现自己在两个世界之间徘徊,而且并不真正适合其中任何一个。乔丹能否学会驾驭他的新学校文化,同时保持他的邻居朋友和忠于自己? 我的建议: 纽伯瑞奖章获得者 虽然它是一本较低级别的书,但它并没有带走这本图画小说的动态、表现力和趣味性。它涉及现实生活中的问题,例如对他人的敌意,但仍然适合孩子阅读。
