Treasure Island

by Robert Louis Stevenson

Ages 10–13 Reading age 11 Novel Set in the past adventurousepic

A map found in a dead sailor's chest sends Jim Hawkins to sea with a crew that includes a one-legged cook who is far too friendly.

A story about children and a grown-up villain, adventurous and epic in tone. We would put it with children of 10–13, and at a reading age of about 11 for reading alone.

Or let them write their own.

Nothing gets a child reading like a story they invented themselves. Your child plans the characters and the plot, and we write, illustrate and print it as a real book with their name on the cover as the author.
