Treasure Island -- Robert Louis Stevenson

<b>Robert Louis Stevenson's classic pirate adventure that has thrilled readers for over a hundred years.</b> <p/>Masterfully crafted, <i>Treasure Island</i> is a stunning yarn of piracy on the fiery tropic seas--an unforgettable tale of treachery that embroils a host of legendary swashbucklers, from honest young Jim Hawkins, to sinister, two-timing Israel Hands, to evil incarnate, blind Pew. But above all, <i>Treasure Island</i> is a complex study of good and evil, as embodied by that hero-villain Long John Silver, the merrily unscrupulous buccaneer-rogue whose greedy quest for gold cannot help but win the heart of every soul who ever longed for romance, treasure, and adventure.<br><br><b>Author:</b> Robert Louis Stevenson<br><b>Publisher:</b> Atheneum Books for Young Readers<br><b>Published:</b> 10/23/2012<br><b>Pages:</b> 288<br><b>Binding Type:</b> Hardcover<br><b>Weight:</b> 2.00lbs<br><b>Size:</b> 9.30h x 7.30w x 1.20d<br><b>ISBN:</b> 9781442474444<br><b>Audience:</b> Ages 9-12<br><br><b>Review Citation(s): </b><br><i>Hornbook Guide to Children</i> 01/01/2013 pg. 84 - Recommended, Satisfactory<br><p><b>About the Author</b><br>Robert Louis Stevenson was born on November 13, 1850.
