Treasure Island

Author: Robert Louis Stevenson

“Treasure Island” by Robert Louis Stevenson is a timeless adventure that swept me off my feet from the very first page. Following young Jim Hawkins, I felt the thrill of discovering a pirate’s map and setting sail for hidden treasure. The vivid characters, like the enigmatic Long John Silver, and the treacherous twists kept me hooked. It’s a tale of courage, betrayal, and the quest for fortune that I couldn’t put down.
