My Spanish-speaking students really appreciated having the opportunity to experience The Outsiders along with the other students. Thanks for your prompt service!

I bought this book as an aid for three new English language learners that came to our high school last year. These three students are very intelligent, and have rapidly improved their language abilities over the 9 months since they arrived. This semester, when they were assigned 9th grade English Literature, we needed to find a way for them to participate in the same novels, and the same material as others to earn the credits. "The Outsiders" is a fantastic, but difficult book for students like them. I bought five copies of "Rebeldes" and they are now reading alongside their American peers. The students have really gotten into the story, and are enjoying seeing the movie in English. Thanks to the availability of such novels through Amazon, I'm expecting a successful conclusion to 9th grade Lit for these three motivated teens!

Having multiple languages in a single classroom can be achallenge, but with great young adult literature in Spanish it makes it a little easier.

Unlike what the editorial review states, this book is not about 2 young men from New York. Rather, this is the Spanish translation of The Outsiders, S.E. Hinton's first and most popular book. It's about 3 teenagers and their gang from the wrong side of the tracks in 1960s Tulsa, Okla. It's a great book about friendship and growing up and I would encourage anyone to read it. If you can read the English edition, do - it flows a lot better and is more realistic.

The impact that this book had on me was amazing. I have read this book 54 times since I was 10. I just felt so connected to it. I would (and do)recomend it to every one I know. Adult and child!
