Jada Jones: Class Act

In Jada Jones: Class Act, science-loving, rainbow-bead-wearing Jada has been nominated to run for class representative — but as the campaign heats up, rumors start flying about her secret fear of public speaking, her classmates start taking sides, and the pressure to make promises she can't keep threatens both her friendships and her integrity. Kelly Starling Lyons's warm, easy-to-read chapter book features short chapters, two-color illustrations on nearly every page, and a cast of lovable, relatable characters that will delight transitional readers. This book is a great choice for students because Jada is a joyful, authentic role model — a curious, kind, science-loving Black girl navigating the real challenges of elementary school with integrity and heart.
