A Great Story Never Ends
More than thirty years have passed since the adventure told by Stevenson in his masterpiece Treasure Island, when thirteen-year-old Jim Hawkins set sail with Long John Silver in search of Captain Flint’s treasure. Now Jim has a wife, two grown children, and runs the Admiral Benbow Inn just as his parents once did. But customers are few, expenses keep rising, and the storms battering the coast take their toll on his modest inn. Until, one stormy night, a quarrelsome youth arrives—who, on closer look, turns out to be… a girl. Her name is Thunder, and her father is none other than old Long John. She has come to warn Jim of an ancient curse. That very night, Jim finds himself once again aboard a pirate ship, driven by fate far away from home…
- The sequels to the most beloved and timeless classics, retold in a modern voice.ùAdventure, mystery, and friendship—alongside themes such as bullying and learning difficulties—woven into gripping stories with vibrant, unforgettable characters.
