Synopsis

The lure of hidden treasure draws young Jim Hawkins from his secure surroundings to seek an exotic life of travel and adventure.

Robert Louis Stevenson's most endearing novel, Treasure Island is a gripping tale of greed, danger, and adventure on the high seas.

About this title

Review:

Climb aboard for the swashbuckling adventure of a lifetime. Treasure Islandhas enthralled (and caused slight seasickness) for decades. The names Long John Silver and Jim Hawkins are destined to remain pieces of folklore for as long as children want to read Robert Louis Stevenson's most famous book. With it's dastardly plot and motley crew of rogues and villains, it seems unlikely that children will ever say no to this timeless classic. --Naomi Gesinger
