Treasure Island, which was first published in 1883, is regarded as a timeless children's classic. It tells the tale of Jim Hawkins, a young kid who discovers a treasure map and embarks on a perilous naval expedition across the Spanish Main. This is one of the most exciting coming-of-age adventure books ever written because of Jim's exploits, his encounters with pirates, particularly the wicked Long John Silver, and his tenacious pursuit for lost wealth.
