Summary

From the author of The Outsiders: This novel about two brothers in a tough world “packs a punch that will leave readers of any age reeling” (School Library Journal).  An ALA Best Book for Young AdultsA School Library Journal Best Book of the Year   Rusty-James wants to be just like his big brother Motorcycle Boy—tough enough to be respected by everyone in the neighborhood. But Motorcycle Boy is also smart, so smart that Rusty-James relies on him to bail him out of trouble. The brothers are inseparable, and Motorcycle Boy will always be there to watch his back, so there's nothing to worry about, right? Or so Rusty-James believes, until his world falls apart and Motorcycle Boy isn't there to pick up the pieces.   An edgy, emotional portrait of a troubled kid trying to navigate the chaotic world around him, Rumble Fish was made into a film by Francis Ford Coppola and has become a modern classic praised by School Library Journal as “stylistically superb” and beloved by multiple generations of readers.   “Hinton knows how to plunge us right into [Rusty-James’s] dead-end mentality—his inability to verbalize much of anything, to come to grips with his anger about his alcoholic father and the mother who deserted him, even his distance from his own feelings.”—Kirkus Reviews

    "Oh, Little Bun Rabbit, so soft and so shy, 
    Say, what do you see with your big, round eye?" 
    "On Christmas we rabbits," says Bunny so shy, 
    "Keep watch to see Santa go galloping by." 
    This delightful story tells of the Little Bun Rabbit who is befriended by Dorothy, a little girl.  She knows the rhyme and asks the little rabbit about it.  Bun Rabbit tells her that indeed, he sees Santa every year as he drives by in his sleigh loaded with toys.  One year Santa stopped to talk with him and ask if he would come to his workshop at the North Pole so he could use him as model to make toy rabbits for little babies.  He agrees and this is his exciting adventure with Santa.  That is why so many stuffed bunny rabbits are made and given at Christmas to be loved by children everywhere.
