The Outsiders Novel

Het is een roman Inclusief ervaringen en belangrijke levenslessen. (Aanbevolen)

The Outsiders is gritty, honest and authentic, and a novel that I feel every teenager needs to read. It makes the reader see that at the end of the day, as Ponyboy says, “we see the same sunset, and that while we are the ones who create the divides between ourselves, we can also be the ones to challenge them”

The Outsiders is a Classic in the field of YA Literature, and one of the books that set the tone for YA lit in its early stages. It is a book about people, and a book about classes, as well as one of the first books to really trust young adults with ‘heavier’ subjects. This Iconic book in YA literature was written by S. E. Hinton when she was just a young adult herself. Perhaps this is where the book gets its strong and authentic young voice.
