Jordan, Drew, Liam, Maury, and their friends from Riverdale Academy Day School are heading out on a school trip to Paris. As an aspiring artist himself, Jordan can't wait to see all the amazing art in the famous City of Lights. But when their trusted faculty guides are replaced at the last minute, the school trip takes an unexpected - and hilarious - turn. Especially when trying to find their way around a foreign city ends up being almost as tricky as navigating the same friendships, fears, and differences that they struggle with at home.

Don't miss the two hilarious and powerful companion novels by Jerry Craft, New Kid and Class Act.

Good addition to the series overall

As with the two previous graphic novels, this is a good story about kids learning the ropes to adulthood and figuring out what they need to become better people. The story focuses on a few things at once, although the bulk of it is how to respect each other and how to get along with people. Also a lot about pre-conceived notions about individuals whether it's based on their race or their quirks, which is kind of a consistent theme throughout Craft's books to date. The artwork is lovely. And it made me chuckle because at one point, someone gets the time difference wrong and I kept thinking it was an error in the book. But it was built into the plot. Hopefully not a spoiler moment. The part I did find a bit challenging with this book is that I truly felt like the kids were ganging up on Andy. Yes, he's an idiot and inconsiderate, but they seem to keep going after him like a dog with a bone. And I'm not sure that the part where they go through how Andy's jokes aren't funny but Samira's are ok wasn't really working for me. It took way too long to explain and I found it hard to really distinguish the mean from the ok even after the explanation. In the end, I felt it was more bullying than helping to understand insensitive vs. humour. The book is also fun at teaching just little things, like the term idiom. I had forgotten it myself. All in all, some lessons learned in a way that a middle school reader (or even elementary) would find enjoyable which is what these graphic novels are for. My son loves them!
