One of my favorite books was by William Golding called Lord Of The Flies. This book had action, adventure and suspension. Some suspension was waiting to find out who the lord of the flies was, the adventure was them hunting for food and knowing they had to find some.
The reason this is a good book for kids my age is because of all the action and suspension, but mostly suspension the kids on the island have to find food because if they don't the y will die so the suspension is waiting for them to find food and or waiting for them to die.
This is why I thought it was a good book it was my favorite book of the year so try reading the book Lord Of The Flies by, William Golding

I thought that this was a very good book for many reasons. One of the reasons is that it was very descriptive. When the boys landed on the deserted island, from the description I could easily tell what the island looked like, therefore I got the picture of the setting of the book. Another thing that I thought made this book very good was that it was very realistic. When the boys landed on the island, and were living there, they fought, argued, and cried like normal boys would. That really contributed to the tense mood of the story.

I would defenitely recommend this book to people of all ages. It was very sad, not because there was bloodshed or killing, but because the boys felt so much hatred towards each other. By the end of the book, I felt like I personally knew some of the charaters.

This wasn't a very diffecult book to read, but some pages I had to re-read to fully understand . You should defenitely read the Lord of the Flies.

I would recommend this book Lord of the Flies by William Golding because it was so exciting. It's about a group of boys stranded on an island alone with no adults. The boys have to learn how to survive alone and share important survival methods. If I could describe this book in one word the word would be nonstop, I never really knew exactly what would happen next and the ending came to be a big surprise. This book was so good I read it twice and from a scale that is from one to ten I would give it a perfect ten!!

The classic would recommend is Lord of The Flies by William Golding. It was one of the best classics I have read. This book is about a group of boys whose parents send them away from their homes on a plane, because of war. When they are flying their plane crashes on a tropical island.
When you read this book you feel like you are right their with the boys, because this book is so descriptive. You can never put this book down because exiting things happen that you don't expect. This book is very sad in parts though. There are not many deaths in this book, but you get so attached to the characters that it is hard to see them go. Also as the book goes along the characters have so much hatred for each other it is depressing.
This adventurous book is my favorite classic that I would recommend to anybody, especially those who love adventures.
