Bookroo's summary
Zuri Jackson faces a new school year filled with worries about her teacher, math, and her mother's health. Her best friend, Danitra Brown, approaches life with a carefree spirit, determined to stay true to herself and support Zuri. As they navigate the trials of school, their friendship is tested and strengthened. Will Zuri find her footing with Danitra's help, or will her concerns overshadow the joy of learning? Discover how these two friends tackle the ups and downs of school life, each in their own unique way, in a story that resonates with anyone who's ever faced a new beginning.
From the publisher
They may be best friends, but Zuri Jackson and Danitra Brown respond very differently to the start of school. For Zuri, there are so many things to ponder – a new teacher who replaced the old one she liked so much, passing math, and worrying about her mother’s health. But for Danitra, the only real deal is being true to herself, having fun, and supporting Zuri in any way she can.
Multiple Coretta Scott King award winners Nikki Grimes and E. B. Lewis have poured their best into Danitra Brown, Class Clown. This third book starring Zuri and Danitra speaks to everyone who has faced the trials of a new school year.
