Description
THE ICONIC INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER WITH OVER 25 MILLION COPIES SOLD - The inspiration for the Tony Award-winning Broadway musical! A heroic coming-of-age novel revolving around friendship, belonging, and brotherhood that has touched the hearts of readers for generations.

"The Outsiders transformed young-adult fiction."--The New York Times

"This remarkable novel gives a moving, credible view of the outsiders from the inside. . . . A book with a powerful message."--The Horn Book

"Stay gold, Ponyboy."

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 young adult fiction that laid the groundwork for the genre. S. E. Hinton's classic novel 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.
