According to Ponyboy, there are two kinds of people in the world: greasers and socs. A soc (short for "social") has money, can get away with just about anything, and has an attitude longer than a limousine. A greaser, on the other hand, always lives on the outside and needs to watch his back. Ponyboy is a greaser, and he's always been proud of it, even willing to rumble against a gang of socs for the sake of his fellow greasers--until one terrible night when his friend Johnny kills a soc. The murder gets under Ponyboy's skin, causing his bifurcated world to crumble and teaching him that pain feels the same whether a soc or a greaser.

這也許是你從未接觸過的世界，但他們確實存在。 他們拿著老天爺發的一手爛牌，在社會的邊緣成長。他們嘗試融入社會，卻往往得不到回應。人人都以為他們只想鬧事，其實他們只是渴望溫暖與安定。然而，即使是街頭混混，也有機會成為人人稱頌的英雄…… 本書生動刻畫幫派少年掙扎生存的心境，角色形象鮮活，內容不僅充滿了激情、誤解與矛盾，也詮釋了諒解、寬容與認同，更真實反映了階級對立、貧富差距與親子關係改變等社會現象，能自然引導讀者思考愛的真義。
