"Damselfly" refers to the young woman (or women) that we follow closely in the story.
This book has all of the excitement of "Lord of the Flies", with an update to modern times. The story is different enough to keep your interest even after reading "Lord of the Flies", and the differences keep you from anticipating future twists in the story. I sincerely hope that this is turned into a movie, which would become an instant modern classic.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Neu
