Lord of the Flies

A well known book about the nature of men (boys) when abandoned to the wild, to fend for themselves and make their own rules.

A group of boys, stranded on a small desert island after a plan crash. A natural leader, a power struggle, brutal violence, scary monsters, tribal rules.

It is a simply written book, well suited to a range of readers - probably why it is read at school so frequently.

A good quick read with interesting character development.
