Summary and Study Guide
Overview
New Moon, a young-adult fantasy romance by Stephenie Meyer, continues the adventure begun in the bestselling novel Twilight about a teenage girl, Bella Swan, who falls in love with vampire Edward Cullen. When Edward leaves her, she struggles with grief and begins spending time with a boy, Jacob Black, who is a vampire-hating werewolf. Published in 2006, New Moon became a number-one New York Times bestseller and received plaudits for its character development and exploration of love and loss. The Twilight series has sold over 100 million copies and received multiple young reader awards. A movie version of New Moon was released in 2009; the entire film series has earned more than $3 billion.
Alongside the original four Twilight books, author Meyer published alternate versions, including one from Edward’s perspective and one that reverses the main characters’ genders. She also writes novels for adult readers.
The eBook version of the 2022 printing of New Moon forms the basis for this study guide.
