About the book

Jim Hawkins joins a voyage for buried treasure and faces mutiny, danger and the unforgettable Long John Silver.

A perfect choice for readers who want pirates, maps, mutiny, quick pace and classic adventure storytelling.

Treasure Island created much of the pirate vocabulary readers still recognize: maps, treasure, mutiny and divided loyalties.

It is the strongest fit for a reader asking for action, adventure, ships or a classic that moves fast.
