This graphic novel is about a young African boy who lives in downtown New York and starts 9th grade changes from a public school to a fancy private school and has to adjust to a school with honors classes, weird electives, and low diversity. His two best friends that he meets at the school and himself have to battle racist issues at the school from teachers and students. He wishes that his mom would let him go to an art school and makes comics about what happens at his school. This book though it might seem serious is actually really funny and takes place in modern times (2017-2018). I reread this book constantly. It's definitely worth reading it.
