    The iconic international bestseller and inspiration for the Tony Award-winning Broadway musical—now in a beautiful 40th anniversary package featuring the original cover!
    “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.

    Celebrating 40 years of an enduring classic that laid the groundwork for the YA genre, this beautiful edition of The Outsiders is the perfect way to honor this impressive milestone and a must-have for fans of all ages.
    S. E. Hinton wrote her first novel, The Outsiders, when she was 16. She was the recipient of the American Library Association’s first Margaret A. Edwards Award, which honors authors “whose books have provided young adults with a window through which they can view their world and which will help them to grow and to understand themselves and their role in society.” The author lives in Tulsa, Oklahoma.
