The Books Oracle

The Outsiders

by S.E. Hinton

Two rival gangs of teenagers—the working-class Greasers and the privileged Socs—clash in 1960s Oklahoma, told through the eyes of fourteen-year-old Ponyboy Curtis. A story of loyalty, violence, and the loss of innocence that defined a generation of young adult literature. Raw and unflinching in its portrayal of class conflict and adolescent desperation.
