The Waves is an experimental Modernist novel following the lives of six children through adulthood and young professional life. The protagonists center their lives in part on the actions of the charismatic Percival, a seventh friend.

Although David and Laurie question the movement and the animosity it causes, most students accept it blindly until Mr. Ross finally exposes the experiment, claiming that their leader could just as well have been Hitler.
