Ponyboy is a fourteen-year-old gang member also know as a "Greaser". With the death of his parents, his life depended on his two older brothers. Throughout the novel, there are constant confrontations with a rivalry gang known as the "Socs". His life turns after a friend killed a Soc, which ultimately helps Ponyboy understand the importance of loyalty, family, and friends. This novel is very quick and full of great events that will keep a reader sucked in. I recommend this novel to those who are 13 and up.
