Book Description
================
Easygoing, thoughtless, and direct, Tex at fifteen likes everyone and 
everything, especially his horse, Negrito, and Johnny Collins's blue-eyed 
sister, Jamie. He thinks life with his seventeen-year-old brother, Mason, 
in their ramshackle house would be just about perfect if only Mace would 
stop complaining about Pop. Pop hasn't been home in five months. Mace 
wants to get out of Oklahoma. Tex just seems to attract trouble and 
danger . . . Suddenly everything's falling apart.

S.E. Hinton on the book:
Tex is my favorite of my books. I have to become my narrator when I'm 
writing, and Tex was a fun guy to be.

He's the least tough, but strongest of my characters.

The people who stay are as valuable as the people who go...
