Treasure Island by Robert Louis Stevenson

Treasure Island

By Robert Louis Stevenson
Level 7
Review:

This classic story, first published in 1883, is an enduring story of adventure and mystery. The book has little moral or educational value but has very high literary merit and no profanity. Some versions are abridged and stripped of the original, beautiful, and challenging use of language, so be careful about the copy you read.
