Can You Survive Treasure Island? (Paperback)

You have the map to Captain Flint’s buried treasure. But when pirates take over your voyage, finding the gold may be easier than surviving the journey.

In Can You Survive Treasure Island?, readers become Jim Hawkins. Make choices that shape the story, face dangerous pirates, search for hidden treasure, and see if you can survive Robert Louis Stevenson’s classic adventure.

You are Jim Hawkins, a quiet youth who discovers a map leading to Captain Flint’s legendary treasure. Soon you’re sailing for a mysterious island in search of riches beyond your wildest dreams. But some of your crewmates are pirates, and the cunning Long John Silver has plans of his own. Who can you trust? When should you take a risk? Can you outsmart the pirates long enough to find the treasure—and make it home alive?

You’re the main character in this interactive adaptation by acclaimed author Blake Hoena, with chapter illustrations by Kat Baumann. As you work your way through the story, it’s up to you to

• make choices that affect what happens
• follow different paths through the classic story
• face pirates, danger, and high-seas adventure

• BONUS: build-your-own-spyglass activity explores how lenses work

Every decision counts. Every choice matters. Will you survive Treasure Island?
