I thought it was so awesome which is what I say about all the S.E. Hinton books. Tex was super good. It was my third favorite book next to The Outsiders, RumbleFish. I like how he never stops trying to get Negrito back. I thought it was really sad that Tex wasn’t really Pop’s son that’s why he favored Mason. I like how the end Mason gets nice and goes fishing with Tex. MyOpinion
