The Chocolate Wars by Robert Cormier is like The Outsiders in the sense that there are different classes in both stories and there is a feud between the different groups because of their differences in money, rankings, etc. , but it does not include the strong physical fighting.
Whale Talk by Chris Crutcher theme of teenagers finding who they are and overcoming life obstacles resembles the one seen in The Outsiders.Though both these books tell the story of young adults figuring out who they are in tough situations, Whale Talks does not include fighting scenes.
The Pigman by Paul Zigman has many similarities to The Outsiders when acknowledging the question asked in both books "what is a home" or "am I really living in my home". In both books, the characters feel as if they are out of place in the place that is suppose to where they feel most comfortable. These books may be similar, but The Pigman does not have physical fighting in the story which is seen throughout the story line in The Outsiders.
