I read most of Hinton's books when I was in Jr. High. The were not assigned to me. I just picked up The Outsiders in the library and went on to read the others. I really enjoyed them at the time. I especially liked Rumblefish and I thought the movie was also stronger than The Outsiders.

8th grade! We also watched the movie. It was so good!
It seems that this book has been a must read for school since dirt was almost new. I read it in 9th grade and and after all these years I can still remember the plot line.....
I read it in 7th grade I believe.
Read it in 7th grade, really liked it. Made a book trailer for it for my project.
I read it in 8th grade English and I loved it
7th grade all the way back in 2003. We also watched the movie
Loved reading this book in 8th grade!!

I did, and loved it; twas a life changing book...even better now. One of my all-time movie faves also (the guys are great to look at). Would you give your life to save a friend, stranger, brother? Thanks for the memory!
I read it for school - and now as a middle school teacher, I watch my colleagues continue that tradition with 7th graders.
7th grade! Which was actually this year.
well, all I can say is 30 years after ugh middle school, it's still in my top 5...and I do read still...alot.
Me! last year in 7th grade.
I read at the first of the year
^ I absolutely LOVE you pic of pointe shoes!!! I'm a dancer and I'm on pointe now! Love and hate it at the same time.

Yes, I thought it was pretty good. I think I would have liked it better though if I read it on my own, and not in school.
Yes, middle school (7th or 8th???) so long ago I can't remember. But, it was great and even got classmates who hated reading involved!
We were assigned to read this in seventh grade. At first I had no desire to read about a bunch of boys. But it quickly became, and still is, one of my all time favorite books.

ya, in high school , it is such a good book,
I did and its was great!
My mom had always wanted me to read it but i couldn't really get into it. I read it for school and thought it was pretty good.

yeah.. i would definately have to agree ;)
My teacher assigned it to my whole class in seventh grade I was ahead of most of the class I think I was the the third one to finish it? Not to brag or anything......
i read this book for my 8th grade English class. i was actually at a book store today and almost bought a used copy of it and decided against it because (though i do think it is a well written book and the story is compelling) i- myself would not enjoy reading it again.so i did not buy it.
so- yes, 8th grade english,

I read this in the 6th grade and really liked it. I recommend it to anyone who is looking for a book with strong characters and a great, very moving plot. :)
i would actually read it over and over again.. i fell in love with it.. good writing, strong characters, and an amazing/ touching message behind the whole story..
read this book for 7th grade and watched the movie too :))
