The Custard Boys

"The Custard Boys" is a 1961 British novel by John Rae, focusing on the lives of children in a small village in World War II England dealing with an influx of war refugees. It is sometimes compared to "Lord of the Flies", and was adapted to make the film "Reach for Glory" in 1962, and again for a second film carrying the original name in 1979, directed by Colin Finbow.
