The complete TREASURE ISLAND adventure, masterfully adapted for today's middle grade readers!

Robert Louis Stevenson's legendary tale of pirates, treasure, and high-seas adventure comes alive in this full-length adaptation designed specifically for 5th grade readers. Every plot twist, every character moment, and every thrilling scene is here -- with language modernized for maximum engagement and accessibility.

A FORTUNE WORTH DYING FOR. A SECRET WORTH KILLING FOR.

Twelve-year-old Jim Hawkins never imagined that the gruff sea captain staying at his father's inn would die under mysterious circumstances -- or that a treasure map would fall into Jim's hands. But when the notorious Captain Flint's chart surfaces, Jim finds himself caught in a deadly game.

Sailing aboard the Hispaniola with the respectable Dr. Livesey and the excitable Squire Trelawney, Jim believes they're on a straightforward treasure hunt. But their crew includes the charismatic Long John Silver, a one-legged sea cook with a silver tongue and a dark past. As the ship approaches Treasure Island, Jim overhears a terrifying plot -- the pirates have infiltrated the crew, and mutiny is brewing.

Stranded on a mysterious island with enemies on all sides, Jim must use every ounce of courage and cleverness to survive. He'll face betrayal, battle, and impossible choices. In a world where the line between hero and villain blurs, Jim will discover what he's truly made of.
