NYC Launch Event | J vs. K

Books of Wonder is absolutely thrilled to be hosting the NYC launch for by New York Times bestselling authors KWAME ALEXANDER and JERRY CRAFT! Created by real-life rivals, this hilarious illustrated story features two talented fifth graders going head-to-head in a competition for the ages. Which side will YOU choose?

J and K are the most creative fifth graders at Dean Ashley Public School (DAPS). J loves to draw and his wordless stories are J-ENIUS! K loves to write and his stories are K-LASSIC!! Both J and K are determined to win the DAPS annual creative storytelling contest or at least get in the top five. And when they find out that they are both entering The Contest, it's the beginning of one of the most intense rivalries the world has ever seen.

It’s artist vs. writer with plenty of shady double crosses as J and K plot their way to the top. This epic match-up from Newbery medal winners Kwame Alexander (The Crossover) and Jerry Craft (New Kid) celebrates comics, creativity, and the magic of collaboration.
