Lord of the Flies, by William Golding, is the story of a group of schoolboys who are the only survivors of a plane crash. Stranded on a remote island, they decide that they must build a large fire so that they can be rescued. By day they frolic on golden beaches and swim in sparkling waters. But at night they dream of a hideous beast roaming the island. Soon, their fear brings out the worst in them and they begin to act like savage animals. More than one boy will be killed before they are rescued...
Okay, I apologize. I know this is really oversimplified, but I just didn't want to give anything away.
I really enjoyed this book. It was definitely creepy and not for the fainthearted, but it always had plenty of action and was never boring. I'd recommend it to almost anybody, but especially fans of the Island and Flight 29 Down series, because this book is reminiscent of those, but a bit more brutal.

Thank you for reminding me that I need to read this, Annie! I'm glad to hear you enjoyed it.
This was definitely one of the better assigned reading books when I was in school. I could read this one over and over! Glad you liked it Annie! I haven't read Island and Flight 29 Down series, but I'll have to check them out.
