S. E. Hinton

En av de absoluta amerikanska ungdomsklassikerna»En banbrytande ungdomsklassiker.« New York Times »Rå, uppriktig och autentisk.« The GuardianIngen har sagt att livet är enkelt, men 14-årige Ponyboy Curtis är rätt säker på att han fattat hur saker hänger ihop. Han ser sig själv som en outsider. Han vet att han kan lita på sina två bröder, Darry och Sodapop. Och han vet att han kan räkna med sina verkliga vänner som skulle göra vad som helst för honom, som Johnny och Skojarn. Utöver det finns det inte mycket att förlita sig på, förutom att det kommer att bli nya sammandrabbningar med Socs, ett gäng rikemanskillar som gärna roar sig med att spöa upp sådana som honom. Men även där har Ponyboy i alla fall koll på ungefär vad han kan förvänta sig - fram till den ödesdigra natt när det går för långt och han och Johnny av misstag dödar en av killarna i Socs.
