“Stay gold, Ponyboy.”

No one ever said life was easy. But Ponyboy is pretty sure that he’s got things figured out. He knows that he can count on his brothers, Darry and Sodapop. And he knows that he can count on his friends—true friends who would do anything for him, like Johnny and Two-Bit. But not on much else besides trouble with the Socs, a vicious gang of rich kids whose idea of a good time is beating up on “greasers” like Ponyboy. At least he knows what to expect—until the night someone takes things too far.

Celebrating 40 years of an enduring classic that laid the groundwork for the YA genre, this beautiful edition of The Outsiders is the perfect way to honor this impressive milestone and a must-have for fans of all ages.
