8th Graders: The Outsiders - Novel Order Money

Dear Parents,
In the next few weeks, we will begin our novel study of The Outsiders by S. E. Hinton in Language Arts.  I will be placing the orders for the novel from Amazon.com.  The novel is currently $6.09.  Please provide this amount by Monday, April 4th.  Students can provide cash or a check payable to Saint Anne School. It is important that all of the students provide the money on time, in order for the order to be placed, and the books delivered in a timely manner.  The students will keep their copy of their novel for their personal library.
Summary of The Outsiders:
A landmark work of American fiction first published in 1967, S. E. Hinton's novel was an immediate phenomenon. Today, The Outsiders continues to resonate with its powerful portrait of the bonds and boundaries of friendship.
In Ponyboy's world there are two types of people. There are the Socs, the rich society kids who get away with anything. Then there are the greasers, like Ponyboy, who aren't so lucky. Ponyboy has a few things he can count on: his older brothers, his friends, and trouble with the Socs, whose idea of a good time is beating up greasers. At least he knows what to expect — until the night someone takes things go too far. (Scholastic)
