 “The thing is - fear can't hurt you any more than a dream.” 

Well, the thing is, I think if a group of young boys got stranded on an island with no one to supervise them, I believe they'd all just be scared and then eat fruits when they get hungry. I can accept the savagery written in this book if the characters are at least teenagers, not 12-year-olds.
