Tex
Overview & Summary
Fifteen-year-old Tex McCormick and his older brother Mason are left largely to fend for themselves while their rodeo-rider father is frequently away, and Tex's easygoing, trusting nature is tested by his family's financial struggles, a friend's involvement with drugs, and a shocking revelation about his own parentage. S. E. Hinton's novel is a quieter, more introspective coming-of-age story than her more famous The Outsiders.
