"A powerful story" of a boy leaving the city streets for a summer at a horse farm—and discovering the possibility of a different life ( Kirkus Reviews).
An ALA Best Book for Young Adults
An ALA Quick Pick
With an absent mother and a domineering stepfather, Travis uses his tough-guy exterior to hide his true passion: writing. After a violent confrontation with his stepfather, Travis is sent to live on his uncle's horse ranch—exile to a born-and-bred city kid. Angry and yearning for a connection, Travis befriends Casey, the horse-riding instructor at the ranch, and the untamable horse in her stable: the Star Runner.
When a friend from the city visits with stories of other kids from the neighborhood facing jail time, Travis is more determined than ever that he needs to escape the life of juvenile delinquency he seems destined for. When the offer of a book deal comes through, Travis is hopeful that this is his chance to escape—if only his stepfather will stop standing in the way of his dreams.
In this novel, the acclaimed author of The Outsiders "portrays her characters with sympathy and yet commendably refuses to gloss over rough edges or gritty truths" ( Publishers Weekly).
"Hinton continues to grow more reflective in her books, but her great understanding, not of what teenagers are but of what they can hope to be, is undiminished."— Kirkus Reviews

From the author of The Outsiders: "Immediate and gripping" tales of two boys whose lives diverge in dramatic ways after a shared childhood tragedy ( School Library Journal).
Terry and Mike were cousins who were as close as cousins could be—more like twin brothers, really. They thought they were invincible and that the happy times would last forever, until the day their fathers headed off for their annual deer-hunting trip. That was when everything started to change, and their paths went in very different directions.
Years later, another fateful event will send one of them to prison—and the other to a bartending job in Oklahoma—while the prospect of an eventual reunion looms . . .
From the award-winning author of That Was Then, This Is Now and Rumble Fish, " Some of Tim's Stories is a compact set of vignettes" full of "sharp, concise observation" ( The New York Times).
