Description

An Apple Books Classic edition.

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. After a band of rogue pirates comes looking for him, Billy dies, leaving Jim and his mother in possession of his belongings, which contain a map leading to the treasure of the dreaded Captain Flint.

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!

    While not quite mindblowing, this book tells of an exciting adventure and is worth a read. I would compare it to "The Land that Time Forgot."
  • What an adventure!

    A 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 recommend

    A 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.
