What is the authors name of the outsiders?

Answer:
S.E. Hinton

(ps. its a girl author)

Just to say, S.E. stands for Susan Eloise. She used the initials because when she wrote her first book, The Outsiders, no one would think a girl could write a book like it. She's stuck with the name for her later books, too.
