Be nice - Anabel Donald

'Ever readLord of the Flies?' said Rohini.
'Of course. Set book, year ten. And?'
'Same situation. Different gender.'

A plane crashes on an uninhabited island in the South Pacific. On it are thirty English girls between the ages of eleven and eighteen, winners of a competition organised by a company selling feminine hygiene products. Each has had to write an essay on her aspirations, subsequently posted on her own website. Twenty-one of the girls survive and, when no rescue comes, are compelled to devise their own rules in order to stay alive.

A brilliant reworking of Golding's classic novel, inBe NiceAnabel Donald takes us into the minds of her teenage characters as they play out a struggle that is as old as the human race and as new as the Internet.
