    Lord of the Flies starts off with a group of British schoolboys who get marooned on an island after their plane crashes during World War2. Piggy and Ralph quickly find each other and decide to have fun and swim in a lagoon on the island. They have no cares in the world, and do not worry about being rescued. After a while, Piggy finds a conch. Piggy has asthma, so he tells Ralph to blow to conch and signal other survivors. After other survivors arrive, they have a meeting and vote on the leader of the group. Ralph is elected as leader and he appoints Jack and the choir as the hunters.
    At first, the boys enjoy their life without grown-ups and spend much of their time splashing in the water and playing games. Ralph, however, complains that they should be maintaining the signal fire and building huts for shelter.

The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night Time by Mark Haddon
1hour

    The book starts off with Christopher, who is going for a midnight stroll and suddenly sees his neighbor's poodle lying on the grass dead. He runs to help the dog and sees a fork stuck into the dog's side. Mrs. Shears, the owner of the poodle, calls the police. Once the police arrive, they ask Christopher a series of questions that he does not understand. Out of fear and confusion, he hits the police officer and gets arrested for assaulting a police officer.
    Christopher is a very smart boy. He can name every prime number up to 7057 and can name every country in the world and its capital. He also likes astronomy. Christopher is not very good with interacting with people. He is not very social, and he can never tell what people are thinking with their facial expressions.
