Summary "The New Boy at Hilltop and Other Stories" by Ralph Henry Barbour is a collection of short stories likely written in the late 19th century. The book centers on the experiences of young boys at a boarding school, particularly focusing on a new student named Kenneth Garwood as he navigates friendships, rivalries, and the challenges of school life. At the start of the first story, Kenneth arrives at Hilltop School, arriving early before the rest of the students return. He quickly forms a rather unflattering opinion of his assigned roommate, Joseph Brewster, and the seemingly strict instructor, Mr. Whipple. As the students return, Kenneth's prejudices begin to fade, particularly as he engages in a lively physical altercation with Brewster, which leads to an unexpected camaraderie. The opening sets the stage for Kenneth's journey of self-discovery, adjustment to school culture, and sports, highlighting themes of friendship and rivalry, all while introducing a lively atmosphere of youthful mischief and excitement.
