Dec 26, 2019 · Angelica Frey. Updated on December 26, 2019. The Outsiders, by S. E. Hinton, is a coming-of-age novel about protagonist Ponyboy, his friends, and his rivals.

But even so, those are real kids in "Bad Boys," while Coppola's teenagers seem trapped inside too many layers of storytelling. Advertisement.
