Treasure Island (Faber Children’s Classics)

Fifteen men on the dead man’s chest . . . yo ho ho and a bottle of rum . . .

When a terrifying stranger arrives at Jim Hawkin’s father’s inn, he finds himself haunted by his tales of piracy, vengeance and blood on the high seas. But when the stranger mysteriously dies, Jim is pulled into an incredible adventure of his own – a quest to discover the long-lost treasure of the evil, infamous, and now-dead pirate, Captain Flint. But this will be no easy journey, as bloodthirsty plans are afoot. Will Jim be able to find the treasure – and get out alive?

With a stunning new cover from Kate Greenaway Medal-winner Levi Pinfold, this thrilling pirate adventure is a true classic of its genre, and a must-have for every bookshelf.Climb aboard for the swashbuckling adventure of a lifetime. Treasure Islandhas enthralled (and caused slight seasickness) for decades. The names Long John Silver and Jim Hawkins are destined to remain pieces of folklore for as long as children want to read Robert Louis Stevenson’s most famous book. With it’s dastardly plot and motley crew of rogues and villains, it seems unlikely that children will ever say no to this timeless classic. –Naomi Gesinger
