Class Act (graphic novel)

Class Act is a 2020 graphic novel by Jerry Craft, published by Quill Tree Books/HarperAlley, imprints of HarperCollins.

The story is about an eighth-grade African American student at Riverdale Academy Day School, Drew Ellis.

However, at school, Drew becomes annoyed when several other students attempt to touch his new hairstyle, and to add the group's problems, they meet their old enemy from last year, Andy Peterson.

On the day of Halloween, Andy is dismayed to discover that hardly any of his classmates have dressed as the Avengers.

Things come to a head when Andy appears at school with his skin dyed green, as a result of a prank.

Kirkus Reviews called the work a “well-crafted, visually rich, truth-telling tale for our troubled times that affirms the eternal importance of friends.
