Title: Alone by Yourselves
Review: Stranded on an island alone as a twelve year old; how would you survive? That's the question author William Golding poses to us in his adventure novel "Lord of the Flies". While escaping WWII in England, a plane of British school boys is shot down, and they suddenly find themselves alone on a deserted island with no parental supervision. Now completely alone, the boys begin to assemble on the beach with the help of a determined young boy, Ralph. You will follow the power struggle between two twelve year olds from beginning to end, who both want to take charge of all the children on the island. Soon the boys take sides, and begin to form two separate tribes, and the attention is deviated away from the major goal, getting off the island. This book will hold your attention throughout with the impending question on your mind; will they make it off, and back to safety? Golding does an exceptional job of creating an action thriller that you won't put down until the very last page.
