From Penguin's The Originals collection, The Outsiders is an outstanding story of teenage rebellion, written when the author was only 17.

__________

Teenagers in a small Oklahoma town have split into two gangs, divided by money, tastes and attitude. The Socs' idea of having a good time is beating up Greasers like Ponyboy Curtis.

Ponyboy knows what to expect and knows he can count on his brothers and friends - until the night someone takes things too far, and life is changed forever.

Iconic, outspoken, first.

Reviews

Another new series which promises to be a big hit with young readers . . . Abie Longstaff is a great writer for young children, who knows just how to capture her readers' attention and encourage them to enjoy reading

—— Parents in Touch

Epic and intense . . . fans of dark history [will be] hooked from the outset. Think Game of Thrones transported to the Ottoman Empire

It's delicious

Fierce and dark . . . A superb offering

Lada – so ugly and mean that readers will adore her – stubbornly rejects gender roles . . . and the characters . . . benefit from complex motivations and an unconventional love triangle. Addictive intrigue
