Product Details

A group of British schoolboys are stranded on a tropical island after a plane crash. At first they try to build a small democracy—using a conch to govern meetings—but fear, hunger, and power struggles split them into rival factions led by Ralph and Jack. As superstition about a “beast” grows, the boys descend from order into savagery, with tragic consequences.
