The Resource Hinton, S. E

Description: Seminal author Susan Eloise Hinton uses first person narration, with authentic voices, to make her fiction intimate and real for teenagers. She was one of the first authors to write about working class male characters, often brothers from broken families. Her books candidly address social pressures, violence, and drugs. More shocking, issue-oriented, and melodramatic than the wholesome teen fiction that preceded them, her work forms the basis for modern young adult fiction. Start with: The Outsiders
