Helpful Score: 3
I teach this book to high school juniors and seniors. Every year, they say, "This book is freaking SCARY!" Yes, it is scary, but not because of any beastie, but because it makes us wonder what would happen if WE were in that situation. Would we be the rule-following Ralph, or the brutal Jack? Would we succumb to the fear of The Beast, or would we realize that The Beast is US? A philosophical, symbolic read if you want it to be, or a rip-roaring adventure story with a surprising ending.
