This book is a coming of age novel, that shows the struggles and hardships of main character Ponyboy's life through an exciting narrative. I really enjoyed it because it seemed to be a fun story while having many important lessons along the way,

this book is a fictional story, but I enjoyed it because its not super out there. it's not just a fantasy of life, It is more realistic, and explains a sad but true real world topic of stealing, and the children taken advantage of due to tragedy,
