Treasure Island

Treasure Island is by Robert Louis Stevenson. You can't possibly be considered well read and not have devoured this classic tale of pirates and buried treasure. Young Jim Hawkins comes into possession of a treasure map and with the help of Squire Trelawney he sets out to find it. He meets many memorable characters on the way, including Long John Silver and Ben Gunn; and learns that doing the right thing isn't always easy. A wonderful historical fiction story of derring-do on the Seven Seas and it will be a beloved classic for many years to come.

Ratings: 7th grade - 10 out of 10.
