The Outsiders - S.E. Hinton
S.E. Hinton wrote this book in response to the body of literature that was available to young adults at the time. She (Susan Eloise) wanted to show how life was for real people. It is really amazing that she wrote The Outsiders when she was 17. Could you write a book? This website explores the novel, Hinton, herself, and the culture of the times.
