One of my favorite books – I read it every couple of years.’ (Suzanne Collins, author of The Hunger Games)
A plane crashes on a desert island. The only survivors are a group of schoolboys. By day, they discover fantastic wildlife and dazzling beaches, learning to survive; at night, they are haunted by nightmares of a primitive beast. Orphaned by society, it isn’t long before their innocent childhood games devolve into a savage, murderous hunt …
Stands out mightily in my memory … Such a strong statement about the human heart. – Patricia Cornwell
Terrifying and haunting. – Kingsley Amis
Beautifully written, tragic and provocative. – E. M. Forster
