__ **Summary** __ Ponyboy Curtis is the youngest of the 3 Curtis boys. Ponyboy, Soda Pop, and Darry are all in a gang of greasers a long with Johnny, Dally, Two- Bit, Steve.

They run away and hide out untill things clear up back at home.A Lot more story changing events occur through out the book greaser vs Socs Fight, A fire, and A few deaths. __ **Reviews** __ This is a great piece of Realistic YA fiction. I Highly Recommend this book to anyone who is into the 1960's time period with the Greasers and The Soc's. S.E Hinton Captures the Time period very well. It is a very climatic story that keeps you on your toes wanting to read more. Ponyboy is easy to relate to even though he is in a different time period he is just like a normal teenager now in the 21st century. This book made me cry at times during the sad parts because its so easy to connect to the characters and feel like you are with them and experiencing what they are feeling. If you are looking for a story where you can laugh, cry, and relate to the characters then this is the story for you!
