Part of Penguin’s The Originals collection, The Outsiders is a landmark story of teenage rebellion — all the more remarkable for having been written by its author at just 17 years old.
In a small Oklahoma town, two gangs face off across a divide drawn by money, attitude, and taste. For the Socs, a favourite pastime is targeting Greasers like Ponyboy Curtis. Ponyboy knows the rules of this world and trusts his brothers and friends to have his back — but one night, when someone goes too far, everything changes beyond repair.
Iconic, outspoken, first. The Originals are the pioneers of fiction for young adults. From political awakening, war and unrequited love to addiction, teenage pregnancy and nuclear holocaust, The Originals confront big issues and articulate difficult truths. The collection includes: (Un)arranged Marriage – Bali Rai Stone Cold – Robert Swindells The Secret Diary of Adrian Mole – Sue Townsend The Tulip Touch – Anne Fine I Capture the Castle – Dodie Smith
