Jerry Craft’s book, “New Kid,” is the only work to have won the Newbery Medal, the Coretta Scott King Author Award, and the Kirkus Prize — but it has been banned in some school districts. In this essay, Craft responds to the bans.
. What these movies all have in common is that, for the most part, humans are the bad guys. We all cheered for the large blue aliens, a very big green troll, and a little extraterrestrial--characters who would scare us to death in real life.
