In this companion story to The New Kid, the author highlights Drew's story, rather than Jordan's. Drew is struggling with stereotypes about kids of color in his school, as Jordan was. However, Drew pulls away from his white friend because of his wealth and privilege. The graphic novel brings to light some horrible stereotypes and some serious issues that face people of color even today. Like New Kid, it is an important book for students of all color to read.
