Publisher Description
50 years of an iconic classic! This international bestseller and inspiration for a beloved movie is a heroic story of friendship and belonging.
No one ever said life was easy. But Ponyboy is pretty sure that he's got things figured out. He knows that he can count on his brothers, Darry and Sodapop. And he knows that he can count on his friends—true friends who would do anything for him, like Johnny and Two-Bit. But not on much else besides trouble with the Socs, a vicious gang of rich kids whose idea of a good time is beating up on “greasers” like Ponyboy. At least he knows what to expect—until the night someone takes things too far.
The Outsiders is a dramatic and enduring work of fiction that laid the groundwork for the YA genre. S. E. Hinton's classic story of a boy who finds himself on the outskirts of regular society remains as powerful today as it was the day it was first published.
"The Outsiders transformed young-adult fiction from a genre mostly about prom queens, football players and high school crushes to one that portrayed a darker, truer world." —The New York Times

Love this book by S.E. Hinton.
Super great book! I don’t get bored of listening to it! I read it when I was in high school and saw the movie. It brings back memories of my high school years. I love this book and I would recommend it to anyone who loves great novels with a great message.
The best book of my youth.
I first discovered this book 36 yrs ago, and I still love it to this day. You know you’ve read a book a few times when you have a first line memorized. This book is like a right of passage.
