S. E. Hinton
From the best-selling author of The Outsiders, S.E. Hinton's Tex explores friendships, conflict, depression, self-destructive behavior, and truth and acceptance. This edition includes a new and exclusive Author's Note.Easygoing and reckless, Tex, likes everyone and everything, especially his horse, Negrito, and Johnny Collins' blue-eyed sister, Jamie. Life with his older brother, Mason, would be just about perfect if only he would stop complaining about Pop, who hasn't been home in five months. While Mason worries about paying the bills and getting a basketball scholarship--his ticket out of Oklahoma--Tex just seems to attract trouble. When everything seems to be falling apart, how can Tex find a way to keep things together?

"I sobbed violently at chapter 7/8 over the horse, I had to close the book to mourn. It was extremely devastating.
Anyway Tex is so silly 🐎 (you should read this)"

"Another amazing S.E Hinton book truly I must admit it was a little slow at the start but when it did pick up it was really good. The ending was satisfying but definitely threw me for a loop ( I cried ) and it was a little long but it was needed. The writing and metaphors were very smooth. Just a beautiful book of growing up to fast and we get to see the moment where Texas no longer is a boy and how he views himself and the others around him. I also love to look at how he talked about mason in the beginning of the novel to the end. Just a great book!! "
