If you would like to borrow a copy of That was Then, This is Now, be one of the first to post a comment here explaining why you want to read this book. If you post a comment, please sign your name. I will lend out my copies to the first three students to blog with me!
I have 3 copies of That was Then, This is Now by S.E. Hinton. If you liked The Outsiders, then chances are you will love this book. It is not a sequel to The Outsiders, but does make some references to Ponyboy and his friends. This story is about two best friends that are more like brothers, until one of them makes some drastic choices that the other one can't forgive or forget. I have always liked this book, but not as much as my students.
Almost every student I have ever had who has proclaimed The Outsiders to be their favorite book and then picked up That was Then, This is Now in hopes it will be similar, are always happy they did. Everyone student who has picked up this book has told me they liked it more than The Outsiders. I don't know if I can give higher praise to a book!
I want this book!
