What put to sea with seventy-five."


I love Robinson Crusoe genre books, so it wasn't surprising I liked this one!

A true classic, Treasure Island is narrated by young Jim Hawkins as he goes on a voyage for treasure, after meeting Billy Bones the pirate.

Overall, the story was intriguing! It teaches about greed, plus shows an interesting twist over how the adventure makes Jim feel by the end of the book—something not every adventure story covers. If you love voyage novels, I recommend this one!
