Soscha
The Outsiders | Susan E. Hinton
post image

1. There was little good about me at a young age but this would be one. It started when I think a Second or Third Grade teacher pulled me aside; told me I shouldn‘t be getting B-s in school. And I never did again save for Math & Mathish Hard Science.

2. Characters in book, PonyBoy & SodaPop Curtis. I adored this book as a child. Less so when I had to read it twice in different schools. I‘d told my family (in jest!) I was set to marry Rob Lowe.

Soscha I read all of Sue Hinton‘s books. Rumble Fish was a better read IMO. Tex was the worst. That was the last I read but Taming the Star Runner didn‘t come out until my junior year of High School. Was that one any good or had see lost her mojo by then? 4h

I listened to this while my stepdaughter reads it for English class….I was shocked that I loved it. There was a lot more compassion and tenderness than I anticipated for a book about a gang of teenage boys. I see why this is considered to be the start of YA fiction, even though most of what I‘ve read in the genre pales in comparison. My stepdaughter, she‘s still working on it, but she read ahead to the ending (what‘s with young people today?).

Ruthiella Oh, I‘m old and I will sometimes read the end first when I‘m worried and a character or story arc. I find out what happened -get the worst over with- and the go back and read the rest.😅 1w
TheLudicReader Hinton's novel That Was Then, This is Now is even better, imho. 1w
TheAromaofBooks Woohoo!! 1w
JoeMo @TheLudicReader I checked out Hinton‘s other books, noticed the great reviews for this, and added it to my TBR! Thanks for sharing 1w

Concrete Rose | Angie Thomas
post image

Prequel to the amazing YA, The Hate U Give. Similar metaphors: A Tree Grows in Brooklyn, growth from struggle & hardship. Also reminiscent lyrics from Ben E King's 1960 song: There is a rose in Spanish Harlem. . . It's growing in the street right up through the concrete. And most obvious, the poem by Tupac Shakur: Long live the rose that grew from concrete
when no one else ever cared.

Listened 🎧 to this and watched the film 🎥 last night. Enjoyed both! I honestly can‘t remember if I truly read the book when I was in HS and I don‘t remember if I even saw the movie, but I can now FOR SURE check it off a list ☑️ #Feb2025 Book14

I have read and re-read this book and can say that it will always be a favorite. My own copy has definitely seen better days but the love I hold for this book is deep. I think everyone should read this book at least once in their lives and then stop to think about the message the author was trying to convey.

Dear Justyce | Nic Stone
post image

Think I‘m behind on the #12booksof2024 so this is my October pick. I finally read Dear Martin & this one—in time to meet Nic Stone at a book fair. Loved both, but this one hit me just a bit more because of kids I have worked with. @Andrew65

Andrew65 Loved both of these books - they both have a great impact. 3mo
