Friendship, family strain, and a search for acceptance

Set in Oklahoma, *Tex* places its teenage protagonist between an easygoing attachment to his horse and friends and the pressures building at home. His older brother, Mason, is focused on bills and a basketball scholarship, while their father has been away for months; Tex’s own recklessness adds another source of conflict. The description also identifies depression, self-destructive behavior, truth, and acceptance among the book’s concerns. This edition includes an author’s note, offering an additional point of context alongside the novel.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Teens and young adults interested in family conflict and social themes
  • Readers drawn to stories about friendship, adolescence, and acceptance
  • Those interested in fiction addressing depression and self-destructive behavior

Book overview

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 editionincludes 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?
