Meet the eerie, dangerous, psychological cousin of Lord of the Flies.

This book grabbed me from the moment I saw its strange cover and didn't let me go until I finished it a day later.

Like a rollercoaster, I was pulled in so many directions of thought and plot, I could predict nothing-- not its genre, not its plot twists, and certainly not its baffling ending that has me still thinking about it two years later.
