Scoutmaster Tim Riggs has taken his troop to Falstaff Island for their annual wilderness camping trip. The five boys all trust and respect their Scoutmaster and are hoping to have a grand time. A gentleman comes onto the island and he is paper-thin and starving, always hungry. Tim gets the boys to keep to the cabin and attempts to take care of the man.
That is when the danger starts. The man is full of worms that have taken over his whole body. The worms attach themselves to Tim and the contagion begins.
This novel was well written and snags your attention. The boys are pure boys and you feel their distress as they watch each other become people that they didn't know.
The book is a bit gory in parts, but I think it was essential for feeling the devastation that the boys were experiencing.
