Jim Hawkins can't decide who should be his dad, so he skips the question entirely and turns into a man himself. Also, rum.

Treasure Island by Robert Louis Stevenson
Robert Louis Stevenson created a rich story of suspense and adventure. A very easily read, fast-moving and enjoyable book. Highly recommended.
Rated by buyers -
This book is a fun read. It starts out with action and that action continues throughout. This is the quintessential pirates book. Classic characters like Long John Silver and Jim Hawkins come to life on these pages. The exploits of Jim and his cohorts aboard the Hispanola aare both believable (to a degree) and entertaining. Boys will thoroughly enjoy this book but it need not be gender specific (though there is but one female part in this book and that one a minor part at that). It is fast-paced and just a darn good read.

I read this book, here in Brazil, when I was a teenager.This book is a fiction and was writen while the author was sick, with tuberculosis in Davos, Switzerland, during XIX Century.
If you want to read a good fiction, this book is a good choice.Don't wait a book about history of real pirates.This is a fiction.A so good fiction that it was used by Hollywood to produce many movies, following this good book.

Although written primarily for boys, Treasure Island is one of the few books I remember being wildly excited about as a girl. I decided to share it with my 5 year old (who appreciates a pirate adventure) and I am reading a chapter at a time to him at bedtime. Although it is sometimes a little much for a 5 year old (some deaths and pirates with missing body parts) I can read it in a way that interests him. And, it is a great learning experienced due to this "enriched classic" version. I can tell my son about real pirates (who he now knows were actually "bad guys") and about the way things were in the mid 1700's. I explain a lot as I go, but he is fascinated- and we're learning a lot together! I highly recommend it... especially to read to kids slightly older than my 5 year old. However, this works as well!
