The Outsiders (PDF) is a classic novel for young adults written by S.E. Hinton. It follows the life of 14-year-old Ponyboy Curtis. Ponyboy, along with his older brothers Soda and Darry, are orphans struggling to stick together in a lower-class neighborhood known as the East Side. They are members of the Greasers, a gang of working-class tough street kids.
S.E. Hinton wrote The Outsiders when she was only 16 years old, and it revolutionized young adult fiction with its hard-hitting look at the social politics of being a teenager in mid-twentieth-century America. It began a trend in the genre of taking a more serious look at the struggles of growing up.
The book drew a wide audience, especially among teenage boys who were reluctant readers. It was criticized at first for its, at the time, graphic depictions of violence, but it remains a classic work of young adult fiction that explores the universal struggles of growing up.
