This is a reteling of the novel, Treasure Island, for children.

What's to say, except, Arrgghh. Who knows how pirates actually spoke, but Stevenson takes a jump at it and the results are comic and wonderful. Makes you feel like you're 12-years old again.

This is the most wonderful adventure/pirate story ever written! Robert Louis Stevenson developed the best recognized Characters in literature,the pace of the book is exciting and there isn't a movie,character or book that has not copied his unique description or built up the excitement of his story as well as he had done! Every young child to an adult is missing a piece of unraveling, his or her imagination in the process of reading this fantastic tale of piracy,and the high sea adventure.Arrrrrrrrrrrrrggggggggg ( )

This novel isn't exactly the first choice to many readers, but it is worth reading. I consider it a classic and thought that i should read it and I did. It starts out confusing you a little bit, especially because of the 1800's writing. Not easy to read if you're looking for a easy-holiday book, but over all it is exciting, mysterious and well thought out book! ( )

Young Jim Hawkins sets sail on an adventure that he wasn't expecting. He is in the midst of pirates and his life is on the line. He finds some unexpected surprises along the way. He makes it home safely, after experiencing some amazing adventures!

My oldest son and I read this book a while back. We thoroughly enjoyed the excitement the story had to offer. It made me secretly long for an adventure of my own.

Extensions for this book could include a treasure/scavenger hunt throughout the school or town. You could also build a miniature pirate ship and sail it in a tub or small pond.
