Book Description: According to Ponyboy, there are two kinds of people in the world: greasers and socs.
A soc (short for "social") has money, can get away with just about anything, and has an attitude longer than a
limousine. A greaser, on the other hand, always lives on the outside and needs to watch his back.
Ponyboy is a greaser, and he's always been proud of it, even willing to rumble against a gang of socs for the
sake of his fellow greasers--until one terrible night when his friend Johnny kills a soc. The murder gets under
Ponyboy's skin, causing his bifurcated world to crumble and teaching him that pain feels the same whether a
soc or a greaser.
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.
