Hinton, S. E. The Outsiders. New York City: Penguin Group Inc., 180 pages. (Fiction)Ponyboy Curtis has had a very hard time with life after his parents both died. He can’t rely on anyone except his brothers and some of his friends. With Pony’s school grades dropping, he also has trouble with the Socs, a gang who thinks that their all that and who are strong in numbers. Pony has been able to live like this for a long time until one night things take a turn for the worst.
This is a thrilling story that includes courage, trust, and most of all, friendship. I think this is a really good book because it teaches people to cherish their friends and family. One reason why I think people should read this book is because the author, S.E. Hinton, always keeps you on the edge of your seat after every chapter and always has action going on. Plus, she gives great descriptions of the characters in the book.
