Ponyboy thinks he knows exactly where he stands in life: a greaser, loyal to his brothers and his crew, always one run-in away from trouble with the wealthy Socs. But when one violent night changes everything, he's forced to question who he really is and what he's willing to fight for. Can he figure out who he is before the world decides for him?

Soon the colors began to fade from flowers, houses, clothes—everything—until the whole Earth turned gray. Everything except one tiny forgotten box of crayons hiding in a school desk.
