A plane from Britain full of evacuating school boys is shot down and crashes on a desert island. Piggy and Ralph, two of the school boys, find a conch shell and blow it to summon the other boys. Ralph is appointed leader and he appoints a boy named Jack as the hunting leader. At first they enjoy playing games and swimming, and not having parents telling them what to do, but they start getting lazy and do not work which makes the people who are working have to work twice as hard and what happens when Jack gets jealous of Ralph and takes control of half of the tribe and starts attacking them, killing a few of them. Will they ever get off of this island alive?

 

This book is a little violent and creepy, because they got thrown into a dangerous situation that becomes a fight for survival.
