Books with author S. E. Hinton

Travis is the epitome of cool, even when he's in trouble. But when he's sent to stay with his uncle on a ranch in the country, he finds that his schoolmates don't like his tough city ways. He does find friendship of a sort with Casey, who runs a riding school at the ranch.

It's clear to Travis that he and the Star Runner are two of a kind, creatures not meant to be tamed.
