Ponyboy, a fourteen-year-old brawler, chainsmoker and dreamer, is a fiercely loyal greaser.

Confronting America with a new breed of anti-hero from the wrong side of the class divide, The Outsiders is a young adult novel of enduring power. It was made into a film in 1983 starring Patrick Swayze, Rob Lowe and Tom Cruise. With an introduction by Jodi Picoult ‘Gritty, emotional and very authentic’ Jodi Picoult’The Outsiders is a teenage epic’ Francis Ford Coppola
