The Outsiders
Synopsis
Ponyboy Curtis tells the story of greasers and rich kids in a city where a walk home can become a killing. Hinton wrote it as a teenager, and the book still sounds like someone inside the fight, not a lesson delivered from above. Loyalty is the plot, and it is expensive.
Synopses are original catalog copy written for Every Book Ever, not publisher blurbs.
