The Treasure Map

Read the most by: boys and girls

A brief, simplified retelling of the episode in Treasure Island during which Jim Hawkins gives Squire Tralawney a packet left behind by a sea captain staying at Jim's parents' inn, and which pirates are trying to find. Pirates of the Caribbean drew kids into theaters by the droves—and Robert Louis Stevenson's irresistible tale of derring-do is simply the best, most original pirate story ever written. Young readers will joyfully set sail with Jim Hawkins, who has always dreamed of going to sea. And now he's getting his chance, thanks to a very special treasure map he's found…left behind by a pirate captain.
