The Outsiders. S.E. Hinton. 240 pages. Ages 13-16 This is one of the best “school classics” that get assigned to students to read. Entertaining and engrossing from beginning to end. Classic elements of the haves and have-nots, as well as pure survival, are realistically portrayed. Ponyboy is a 14 year old greaser being raised by his older brothers, and is the narrator of the story. The greasers (have-nots) are constantly being harassed and attacked by the “Socs” (haves-rich kid bully types). Fights between the greasers and the socs, as well an act of heroism, propel the story to its violent ending, and a revelation for Ponyboy.
