The Outsiders by S.E. Hinton

Ponyboy 'Pony' Curtis and his older brothers Sodapop 'Soda' and Darry are part of a poor group of teenager called, Greasers. Ponyboy is a shy and quiet boys and gets good grades in school. His oldest brother Darry takes care of Pony and Soda and is serious. He sometimes yells at Pony to do better in school. Soda is the middle brother. He is happy most of the time and very handsome and likeable. Sometimes Darry and Soda get into fights with each other over Pony's education. The Greaser's gang consist of the three Curtis boys, Johnny, Two-bit, and Dallas Winston.

Then comes the Socs. They are stuck up rich kids that love beating up Greaser's like Ponyboy, his brothers and his friends. One night two drunk Socs jump Pony and Johnny. One event leads to another and soon Johnny and Pony are running away.

This book is filled with action and adventure. It is really an emotional book for young readers.

I highly recomend this book.
