'Brilliant and thrilling.' RACHEL COOKE, Observer
'Beautifully imagined, it immerses you in the heat of the tropics with its detail and palette and feels so poignant and relevant. Phenomenal.' CHRIS MOULD
'Just as compelling and evocative as Golding's world-shaking masterpiece.' Comics Review
Before The Stand and The Hunger Games, before Battle Royale and Yellowjackets, there was Lord of the Flies.
A plane crashes on a desert island. The only survivors, a group of schoolboys. By day, they explore the dazzling beaches. By night, they are haunted by nightmares of a primitive beast and of what they've lost.
'There aren't any grown-ups anywhere.'
Orphaned by society, they must forge their own; but it isn't long before the group is split, and their innocent games take a dangerous turn.
'What are we? Humans? Or Animals?'
