The prize was not important, but it gave me a lot of confidence. ” Lily Allen, one of my classmates, said, “When I was in Grade 7, I had group tutoring with four friends.

As they wait for help, they try to live off the land and build a small society. However, the boys don't get along, and have trouble keeping the peace. The book came out in 1954. Although it was not a great success at first, it became popular later. By the early 1960s, it was taught in many schools in Britain.
