50 years of an iconic classic! This international bestseller and inspiration for a beloved movie is a heroic story of friendship and belonging.Cover may vary. 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 … 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 by S.E. Hinton has been a favorite of mine since I first read it years ago in middle school. It’s realistic and takes you on an emotional journey. The characters are both lovable and frustrating. It’s also an easy read! I highly recommend this book and all of her others.
I read this book 4 times and enjoyed it even more each time.
best ever
This is my favorite book of all time!! I love the characters, and when reading this book you feel as though you are watching the whole scenes play out.
