The Outsiders
A Coming-of-Age-Drama
Meet Ponyboy Curtis, a 14-year-old dreamer who quotes poetry and watches sunsets, trapped in the unforgiving life of a "greaser." He and his found family—the silent, sensitive Johnny, the movie-star handsome Sodapop, and the stern, protective Darry—are constantly hunted by the Socs, the wealthy, privileged kids from the West Side who drive Mustangs and think the world belongs to them.
But when a desperate act of self-defense leads to a Soc's death, Ponyboy and Johnny are thrown into a fight for their lives that will force them to confront the true meaning of loyalty, class warfare, and heroism.
Gripping, heartbreaking, and relentlessly hopeful, S.E. Hinton’s masterpiece is more than a story about gangs—it’s an unforgettable journey into the heart of teenage angst, proving that even when the odds are stacked against you, friendship can be the toughest armor.
