The Outsiders

The Outsiders is by S.E. Hinton. West Side Story meets Rebel Without a Cause! 14-year-old Ponyboy Curtis lives on the wrong side of the tracks. His loyalties are to his brothers and his gang, the Greasers. He and his brothers, Darry and Soda Pop have little besides the gang and each other since their parents' death. Then his best friend kills a member of the rival gang and Pony's nightmare begins. A fantastic novel of struggle, honor, and seeing the inside of a person vs. what's on the outside. Miss White's favorite book for a reason!

Ratings: 8th grade - 10 out of 10.
