About this book
Robert Louis Stevenson's Treasure Island sweeps readers into a rousing coming-of-age sea adventure when young Jim Hawkins comes into possession of a mysterious treasure map and signs aboard the ship Hispaniola. What begins as an exciting quest for buried gold quickly becomes a tense, atmospheric journey of shifting alliances and moral tests, populated by colorful, dangerous figures — most famously the charismatic, one-legged Long John Silver, whose charm conceals deeper motives. Brimming with salty atmosphere, daring skirmishes, and island mysteries, this tale balances rollicking action with questions of loyalty and courage, keeping readers gripped from harbor to horizon.
