Will Hunter is no stranger to moving. He has been to five schools in three years. You might think his parents are the ones uprooting him all the time, but you’d be wrong.
Will is a demon hunter like his father and grandfather before him. He has developed a way of making enough money to support his development of new weapons while at the same time providing a cover for his mother being “transferred” wherever he needs to go next.
Will spends his time monitoring demon activity, constantly looking for the tell-tale signs of evil. His latest stop is Harrisburg, WA. This once quiet town has recently suffered from disappearances, instances of severe bullying, and outright deviant behavior.
The only trustworthy person Will meets is Natalie. Natalie’s sister is one of the teens to recently disappear. She has always had a feeling something sinister was involved and once she sees the things Will deals with on a daily basis, her suspicions are confirmed.
In spite of his better judgement, Will decides to let Natalie into his world. Never before has he trusted someone with his secret. Doing so would put an innocent person in danger and as his feelings for Natalie grow, he realizes just how dangerous it can be.
Will and Natalie face the ultimate evil on their journey to find the people they’ve lost. Will is confronted with knowledge that threatens his sense of self and is forced to make some big decisions.
Can Will face his demons and rid Harrisburg of its evil?
Oh, I read about this book yesterday and I really want to read it, but it seems Amazon doesn’t have it…
Thanks for the review, with the other reviews I had read about this book I didn’t know exactily wha it was about.
Oooh, looks like an interesting book, reminds me a bit of a recent UK TV show called Demons, which was a bit of a similar premise. Have to she if I can check this one out!
This sounds interesting, I’ll hav to see if I can get hold of it. I agree with Bart about being similar to Demons. Thanks for the review!
I love this book, its really kept my interest. Usual i get bored very easy, but with this book I ended up reading it in a few hours. I reccomend this book to anyone who likes Cirque du freak series, Twilight, or Harry Potter series.
Hi. I’m only on chapter two of this book and I am REALLY hooked on this book. I am also reading The Series Of Unfortunate Events by Lemony Snicket so I get hooked easily but The New Kid is a VERY good book. I got mine at Borders by the Patrick Henry Mall in Newport News, VA. peace yall.
As soon as I started reading this book I was hooked and I finished it in a few hours. It was great but it left me wanting more! Anyone know if there’s going to be a 2nd book?
The New Kid rocks!!! it’s sooo cool!! i personally didn’t like the writing in third person but the story is great. its one of the best books i’ve ever read!!!
i love this book and i hope the author writes a next book following up from this one.
I’m in the middle of reading this book right now. It is a really good book even though the writing is a little iffy… but I still really want to keep reading and find what happens next!
I completely agree with you. I didn’t want to stop, but I kept getting hung up on the writing. Thanks for commenting.
Wow!!! Im berly in the sixth chapter!! But this book has seriously gotten me hooked!! I really want to finish reading it alreaddy!!! So far I agree with people that say that this book is good!!!
I had got this book around the time it came out, and I have to say, it was such a good book. Sure the writing could be better, but I would have to compare it to Meyer’s Twilight series. The New Kid had this draw on me that urged me to continue reading. I really can’t wait for Matthews to finish with the other two!
i read this book and it is awesome, i love it
i really loved this book and to me i think they should make a movie about it. i bet it would be a awsome movie i would really love to watch it
In case any one is looking for this book…. just go to any Borders or Waldenbooks. I bought one yesterday at Waldenbooks in Trumbull for 9.99. It had a sticker that said “Borders Exclusive”. I guess its kind ahard to get anywhere else.

i read it and it was really good!! i loved it!! i agree with every one else i hope the auther makes a 2 one
I HATED this book. It wasn’t the storyline, but the fact that it was written so… poorly. It reminded me of a bad Disney Channel sitcom, not stating any in particular. It wasn’t that drawing to me. The ending angered me very much, and all around had a terrible time reading it. It was cheesy and unsatisfying. Also, he capitalized EVERY time he said the new kid. for example. That’s not a problem for The New Kid. NO! If he would have just wrote it normally, I would have been able to read it in a week. It took me the whole school year. I really didn’t like it. I don’t know if it was the fact that the topic and storyline was so random, or that he was high on marijuana at the time. I don’t care. I hated this book, and it will take something pretty epic to get Mr. Mathews on my summer reading list again. Pardon my harshness, but it’s truly the way that I feel.
this book looks cool and its set in my state!!!!!!!!!!!!^^ ill add it to my books to rea!! Thanx =3
I love this book. i have read it about 5 times. i cant get enough of it. LOL
i can’t really say if it was a good book or not. the plot sounded very interesting, and i wanted to read it, however i sat in borders and read the first couple of chapters, and while i was very interested in the plot i could not bring myself to actually buy the book as it was so horribly written. there are always stupid comercials about parents trying to be “hip” and use speacial words that only their kids know the meaning to, like “dog” and what not, that no one actually uses. however, that is the kind of language that the author used at times, and i could not get over the horrible writting enough to actually read the book. i’m sure it was a good plot, for all of those of u who read it, but if you have any type of advanced reading abitities, i would advise you not to read the book, as the writing style might just make you dumber.
i LOVED this book , SO MUCH . everything about it from the writting to the characters . i recommend the books gone and hunger by michel grant . (:
i just finished this book it was freaking amazing i loved the storyline i hope their would be a second 1
I LOVED THIS BOOK! i finished the whole thing in just four hours, it was impossible to put down. while not the best book ever, it had that quality that left me wanting more. i recommend this book to anyone who likes the whole paranormal aspect, and is not very squeemish, because there were some parts that were a little nasty. but all in all, it was a GREAT read!
is there going the be a series on this???
I totally agree im reading it for the 2ndth time its awesome and im hoping u can make a 2nd one it would be greater than the 1st.
Kinda reminds me of the PetterJackson books were a austitic kid fight Mythological Creatures and His father is The God of the see
Sorry ment to say Sea not see
Percy Jackson
I loved the book The New Kid. I think it is my favorite book i have ever read! i hope u right another book continuing on about Will Huter, Natilie and Emily, and Rudy. I love this book this first time i looked at this book and i just knew i would love it and i did! Please make another book continuing the stroy….
I have to do a book report from this book on monday and i’m scared because is sunday,i read very slow and i’m steel on chapter 4.. But don’t take it wrong, this book is very intresting! I’m loving it..
I read it. It was very interesting. A lot has happened to him, and that includes problems with his everyday life, with making friends not on his To Do list!! But otherwise this book was very interesting and suprising!!
This book was so amazing it reminds me of the TV series Supernatural but only the demon parts. Other than that I was drawn the book like no other book. This is actually my first book I actually wanted to read and keep on reading. Thanks Matthews.
I have the 2 copy of this book and it is alsome dose eneyone whant the other one!?
i love this book! i already red the first and second. It’s great. Sure some things in the book may seem a bit cheesy, but I think it’s because TM wanted to bring back the old school type of action and the stereotypes of High school. There is great action, mystery and suspense.
It’s a bit complicated to understand if your vocabulary isn’t real fancy, but for me it was a great book and definitely one of my favorites. I <3 Tempel Matthews!
It is a really fun book but I think it might have missed a couple of re-reads before being published, some of the grammer mistakes are purely careless and a bit annoying. But overall, a really fun book, I have read it twice since last summer
There is a 2nd and a 3rd book. Since it is a borders exclusive, it is only available there. Too bad they’re going out of business.
OMG im reading this book right now and it’s really great. They should totally make this a movie it would be a hit:):):):):):):)
