Amazon.com Review:
Climb aboard for the swashbuckling adventure of a lifetime. Treasure Islandhas enthralled (and caused slight seasickness) for decades.

After all, what could be more appealing than a tale of vicious pirates, a fabulous treasure and a journey into the unkown across exotic seas? Another exciting book is ... Read More

In it you watch a young boy grow ... Read More

This classic book should be a must read for anyone of any age. I read this book when I was a kid, all of 15 years ago, and got just as much enjoyment out of it now as I did then.
