The Outsders

No one ever said life was easy, but Ponyboy believes he has it all figured out: he can rely on his brothers, Darry and Sodapop, and on true friends like Johnny and Two-Bit, who would do anything for him. Beyond that, life is mostly trouble with the Socs, a wealthy gang whose favorite pastime is beating up “greasers” like Ponyboy—until one night, when things go too far. The Outsiders is a powerful and enduring work of fiction that helped define the YA genre, telling the timeless story of a boy navigating life on the margins of society with the same impact today as when it was first published.
