A smart, snarky and heart wrenching coming-of-age story following a close friendship between two adolescent boys as it struggles to keep up with the pace at which they're growing up. Set on the tough (and tuff) streets of S. E. Hinton's gritty and youthfully melancholy 1960s Tulsa. Great for fans of stripped-down greaser style, those with a soft side, and everything in between.
