This book was one that I read when I was very young and it really scared me because it shows children becoming wild and like animals when they are left alone to fend for themselves on an island. The children break off into 2 different groups and begin to fight each other for resources and respect until they are finally rescued and some have died. It is a dark look inside all of us because we can all become like the children with a push towards negative thinking and bad ideas so we must fight against our instincts to always be good and never harm others.
