Celebrate the fortieth anniversary of a classic with this stunning edition, featuring the original cover.
First published by Viking in 1967, The Outsiders immediately resonated with young adults. This groundbreaking novel was like nothing else out there—it was honest and gritty, and was a deeply sympathetic portrayal of Ponyboy, a young man who finds himself on the outside of regular society. Forty years later, with over thirteen million copies sold, the story is as fresh and powerful to teenagers today as it ever was.
This book never left my hand when I was in middle school, I think I ended up buying two copies and memorized the first two chapters. I may not remember them word for word any long but I still LOVE this book, seeing the cover even brings back such a fond feeling.
