The Outsiders

S.E. Hinton

In The Outsiders, S.E. Hinton tells the story of 14-year-old Ponyboy Curtis and his struggle with right and wrong in a society in which he is an outsider. As Ponyboy, his brothers, and the lower-class gang of "greasers" battle the "Socs," the rich kids, Hinton touches on social issues that were just gaining notice during the 1960s and that are still relevant to today's teens, making The Outsiders as pertinent today as it was a half-century ago.
