A heroic story of friendship and belonging. Ponyboy can count on his brothers. And on his friends. But not much else besides trouble with the Socs, a vicious gang of rich kids whose idea of a good time is beating up "greasers" like Ponyboy. At least he knows what to expect - until the night someone takes things too far.

This is an excellent book, lots of genuine emotion. One of my favorites as a teen.
