Tex

From the best-selling author of The Outsiders, S.E. Hinton's Tex explores friendship, conflict, depression, self-destructive behavior, and truth and acceptance. This edition includes a new and exclusive Author's Note.

Easygoing and reckless Tex likes everyone and everything, especially his horse, Negrito, and Johnny Collins's blue-eyed sister, Jamie. Life with his older brother, Mason, would be just about perfect if only he would stop complaining about Pop, who hasn't been home in five months. While Mason worries about paying the bills and getting a basketball scholarship--his ticket out of Okalahoma--Tex just seems to attract trouble. When everything seems to be falling apart, how can Tex find a way to keep things together?
