• Margaret A. Edwards Award (1988)

A heroic story of friendship and belonging. Ponyboy can count on his brothers and friends, but not much else besides trouble with the Socs, a vicious gang of rich kids. At least he knows what to expect until the night someone takes things too far. An ALA Best Book for Young Adults. Winner of the Massachusetts Children's Book Award. "This remarkable novel gives a moving, credible view of the outsiders from the inside... we meet powerful characters in a book with a powerful message." - The Horn Book. Librarian note: This record is for one of the three editions published with different covers and with ISBN 0-140-38572-X / 978-0-14-038572-4. The records are for the 1988 cover, the 1995 cover, and the 2008 cover (this record) which is also the current in-print cover.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.
