Most readers remember Johnny, Dally, and Ponyboy—but Sodapop Curtis is often overlooked.

From his role as the peacemaker in the Curtis family to the kindness and strength he shows throughout the novel, I take a closer look at one of S.E. Hinton's most beloved characters and why so many readers connect with him years later.
