Publisher's Summary

What defines a family? That is the underlying question in the life of Pony Boy Curtis. When his parents die in a car wreck, he comes to depend on the love, friendship and support of his two older brothers and a gang of friends defined by poverty, bad attitudes and long greasy hair. The gang, called greasers, carry on a long-standing war with a group of rich kids, known as Socs, a fight fueled by ignorance and prejudice. An American coming-of-age classic, a story of friendship and social prejudice among a gang of friends.

Critic Reviews

"This classic, written by S. E. Hinton when she was 16 years old, is as profound today as it was when it was first published in 1967." (Amazon.com)

A trip down memory Lane

Read this book in highschool nearly 20 years ago, I listened to it and the story was just as good as I remember, a quick, fun but drama packed story that's well worth the listen, and for older readers a fantastic reminder of our school days!
