The Outsiders

For some reason, this book never found its way into my hands until now. I found it on the reading list when I was teaching, but was told it wasn't something that we could read as a class due to its content (violence, drugs, drinking).

But if that is what you're paying attention to when you read this story, you have completely missed the point. Its so much more than the “lost poor,” the street kids. Its about true north, purity... knowing what is important, no matter if you have money or not.
