School Book Club Review - The TV Tie-in edition of Lord of the Flies by William Golding

For Young people, Children

Faber is offering copies of The TV Tie-in edition of Lord of the Flies by William Golding to school book clubs.

With an Introduction by BBC One Series Executive Producer Joel Wilson, Director Marc Munden and Writer Jack Thorne.

A plane crashes on a desert island. The only survivors are a group of schoolboys. By day, they explore the dazzling beaches, gorging fruit, seeking shelter, and ripping off their uniforms to swim in the lagoon. At night, in the darkness of the jungle, they are haunted by nightmares of a primitive beast.

Orphaned by society, they must forge their own; but it isn’t long before their innocent games devolve into something far more dangerous . . .

‘Exciting, relevant and thought provoking.’
