Lord of the Flies

With a new foreword by Lois Lowry Golding's landmark 1954 novel remains one of the best books ever written for young adults and an unforgettable classic for readers of all ages. A plane crashes on an uncharted island during the start of the next world war stranding a bunch of schoolboys. At first their independence is something to rejoice over because they have no parental oversight. They may do whatever they want because they are so far away from civilisation. Anything. But when order crumbles weird howls reverberate through the night and panic takes hold the prospect of the adventure appears as remote as the prospect of being rescued.
