Mark Reynolds: Although set in the 50s or 60s this book takes a look at the divides and prejudice that takes place among social economical classes Although society may view one group as "better" than the next; in both groups there is good and bad.
This book I have read multiple times throughout my lifetime. I have actually worn out more than 1 copy.

Brian: I read this book in the 4th grade, because I couldn’t get past the violence in the movie, but still wanted to be able to talk about it with my peers. It changed me, and for years afterwards, and maybe even now, I saw myself through the lens of the Outsiders. As I have reread it as an adult (with my son) I know now there are better written books, but few better at pulling back the barrier between childhood and becoming an adult than this story. It is a worthy and necessary rite of passage that I highly recommend.

Jennifer Lara: Everyone is probably well aware of the coming of age classic, The Outsiders by S.E. Hinton. Since its publication in 1967, it has become an iconic classic. It became a beloved classic film in 1983 which starred relatively unknown actors but who became household names. Actors like C. Thomas Howell, Ralph Macchino, Patrick Swayze and so many more. The New York Times stated, “The Outsiders transformed young-adult fiction from a genre mostly about prom queens, football players and high school crushes to one that portrayed a darker, truer world." I first read The Outsiders in 7th grade and it was the first time I read a book to analyze themes and messages. It was the first book which has stuck with me even thirty years laters! Recently, I reread The Outsiders and I was immediately transported back to the 7th grade and recaptured my love for this beautiful story.
It is a beloved story of heroism, friendship and belonging. No one said life was easy but 14-year old Ponyboy Crutis is confident he has it figured out. He knows he can count on his older brothers, Darry and Sodapop. He knows he can count on his friends, true friends who would have his back for anything. He also knows he...

Simon Omnes: Like millions of students in North American schools, I discovered S.E. Hinton’s classic The Outsiders during my English classes. As a semester reading, her debut novel has always been included in many classes’ curriculums. And among the books I read at school, it was one of the best novels to study.

Set over two weeks, The Outsiders recounts the trials of Ponyboy, a greaser who lives with his brothers Daryl and Sodapop after their parents passed away from a car accident eight months ago. Struggling in poverty and difficult conditions, that family nevertheless survives daily hardships thanks to Daryl and Soda’s friends; a group of greasers involving comrades like Two-Bit, Johnny, and Dally. Together, they help each other and also confront the Socs; upper-class dandies who live in luxurious conditions and who fight with the Greasers as the latter represents the poorer middle class. Therefore, it is within this social war that Ponyboy lives while he studies at school, rests at home, and enjoys his free time in cinemas, watching movies alone, or with his friends like Two-Bit, Johnny, and Dally like he decided one Saturday. An initiative that makes them meet two girls...
