By S. E. Hinton
Challenged Book
The Outsiders is a story about kids making choices that affect the rest of their lives. It’s serious stuff and I think that is why the book has been so widely read for so many years. While the story is still good and still holds up, some of the language and the interactions of the characters seem dated. However, the theme of the story rings as true now as it ever did – you can’t tell by looking at some one what they are really about and judging people by how they dress or how much money they seem to have may prevent you from seeing valuable qualities that lie deeper than those appearances. I think this theme is universal and is what makes this book a classic.
