Description

Think of the fortune waiting for you. July, 1802. Young Jim Hawkins and Long John Silver's daughter, Natty, set off in the footsteps of their fathers. The lure of hidden treasure and the thrill of the ocean odyssey soon gives way to terror as the Nightingale reaches its destination. Treasure Island is not uninhabited as it once was.

Look to your laurels, Rowling" -- John Sutherland The Times "Deeply pleasing and convivial" Guardian "Vastly entertaining" Scotsman "Gripping " Daily Mail "Fascinating and richly colourful" Herald
