THE pirate adventure tale of pirate adventure tales.

Robert Louis Stevenson was a brilliant storyteller: an artist who painted vivid pictures with clever words and crafted characters you love to hate and hate to love.
Many "classics" don't measure up to the hype (in my humble opinion), but that is not the case with Stevenson's writings.
Treasure Island truly is a masterpiece of fiction.

Epic. Fast-paced. Adventurous. A swash-buckling tale for the ages.

5/24/18 Read this aloud to 5th graders and I think it worked better with 6th graders

Just read this book twice, once to my morning class and once in the afternoon. And what an adventure, I found tons of enjoyment sharing this with my students just like I did when I read it for the first time when I was 14. A must read for every young adult.
