When Billy Bones first walks into Jim Hawkins’ family-run inn, the prevailing sentiments are fear…and curiosity about what’s in his oversized chest.

Robert Louis Stevenson’s swashbuckling adventure story plays out on the high seas-and it’s packed to the gills with heart-pounding suspense, double crosses, mutiny, mayhem, and even murder. First published as a magazine serial in the 1880s, Treasure Island set the standard for action-adventure thrillers. Hop in and prepare for a wild ride, complete with peg-legged pirates and their trusted parrots, casks of rum, tropical islands, and X marks the spot!

5By chrisin the middleA classic I’ve always heard of and never read. I couldn’t put it down and read it in a few nights. I loved the language and the storytelling. Highly recommendA classic treasure.
3By CaseyisobnoxiousA very adventurous read, and I was pleased with the characters and storyline and ending. However, I will say that the verbiage and wording used threw me off a lot and many times I had a hard time understanding what was being written. It’s a great story but for that reason I was confused a lot.Treasure island

5By vuvhuvbuIt’s a great read after watching Black SailsWishing
5By Bonnie PrancerThe sailers tried the hardest to collect all the collection laid behind. They received a substantial amount. A large portion of the items remained in their storage. A reclaiming fate was bound for the future of new sailers. A challenging and results of the first set of retrievers made a wonderful result in the collection. It is encouraging to believe a future group of sailers will accomplish the results. Wishing is a valuable and supportive response for future attempts and the results.More violent than expected
