Answers: C. Thomas Howell was 17 when he played Ponyboy
i never knew it was based on a true story... is it?
that is a fiction book.
The author was writing about her experience in high school. (She was still in high school when she wrote the book!!!) So, I'm guessing that Pony Boy was a freshman or sophomore.
(I think the author wrote the book her junior year.)
The story is based upon what was going on in her high school.
