What is your first thought when you see a rougher stock person who has, quite obviously, experienced some difficult things in their life? Is it wariness? Fear? Disgust?

The Outiders dares you to try to see beyond that. Rather, it shows you that there is always more to a person than the situation they find themself in or the way they dress and behave.

I feel like I don't want to say more than that, though. Because it will spoil the wonderful journey this book takes you on. A story about several kids trying to make it when they've lost so much and want people to understand them.

I recommend reading it for yourself!

Until then, stay gold, readers. Stay gold.
