Treasure Island is a book by Robert Louis Stevenson. It's a tale about a boy who has a treasure map and goes to an island to find the treasure - but the only problem is is that there are pirates on the ship and they want the treasure!

The pirates have started a mutiny and they are fighting for the treasure ruthlessly, and killing the good crew who are trying the find the treasure for good. I love this exciting book and the way it describes the amazing life and thrilling story of the the crew, the boy and the pirates.

It made my family enjoy reading more, and it made me feel great about reading gripping and fun stories! The book brings the whole family together and really gets us going. So if you like adventure, excitement, pirates and heroes then you have found the right book.
