S. E. Hinton
I really liked the Outsiders and I just finshed reading Taming the Star Runner. I don't know about her other books but it seems like she likes the theme troubled teen who gos good again or something like that. But the characters in those 2 books seemed to have alot in common. Anyone else have thoughts on this writer?

I'm sorry I can't give you any info about her other books, but I just thought I'd let you know that I read the Outsiders in grade 8 and enjoyed it very much.

I've read both The Outsiders and That Was Then, This is Now, and I loved them both. But I'm upset because I went to look at my copy of The Outsiders and it's missing!
 I think she also wrote Tex and another one that I can't remember what it's called (is it Tuff Turf?) (That's why I was looking for my copy of The Outsiders -- it has other books by her listed). |
