After an episode of adolescent rebellion, 15-year-old Henry Palmer is shipped off to an exclusive boarding school in rural Virginia in the fall of 1978 to become a "Randolph Man," like his father and older brother. But over the course of the school year, an unlikely friend, an unexpected enemy, a beloved teacher, and a tragic event lead Henry find his own voice and his own way. With equal parts humor, pathos and penetrating insight, New Boy tells a story of how the competing claims of family, friendship, tradition, and social status shape the lives and destinies of boys in America.
