Stan and Jenny wanted to take one last trip together before their ?rst child was born.

The Book Review/p> Even though this book is reminiscent of the infamous Lord of the Flies, Stans Leap has its own unique voice ... perhaps unique enough to be as memorable as its similar predecessor. It has become one of my all-time favorites and I will read it again and again.
