Treasure Island follows young Jim Hawkins, who finds himself owner of a map to Treasure Island, where the fabled pirate booty is buried; honest Captain Smollett, heroic Dr. Livesey, and the good-hearted but obtuse Squire Trelawney, who help Jim on his quest for the treasure; the frightening Blind Pew, double-dealing Israel Hands, and seemingly mad Ben Gunn, buccaneers of varying shades of menace; and, of course, garrulous, affable, ambiguous Long John Silver, who is one moment a friendly, laughing, one-legged sea-cook . . .and the next a dangerous pirate leader. The unexpected and complex relationship that develops between Silver and Jim helps transform what seems at first to be a simple, rip-roaring adventure story into a deeply moving study of a boy’s growth into manhood, as he learns hard lessons about friendship, loyalty, courage and honor—and the uncertain meaning of good and evil.

"Why are you running away from me?" He pinned me to the wall, leaving no chance of my escape. I looked down at my feet, not being able to find the courage to talk. "Amelia," The way he took my name, sent down shivers through my body. "I asked, why are you running away from me?" I somehow gathered the courage to speak but couldn't look at his eyes. "I know you're gonna kill me. I saw those photos. I read those papers." I whispered as tears started rolling down my cheek. He sighed and turned away from me showing me his athletic and muscular back. I cleared my throat and spoke again looking at his back. "I don't want to die." He turned around and our eyes locked. There was no expression in his eyes. "I wish I can save you but, I cannot." He came closer and whispered into my ears. ---------- Beautiful cover by @bangtanboyzarelife ACHIEVEMENTS🏆 🏆2ND PLACE IN THE SPRING AWARDS 2K20 🏆8TH RUNNER UP IN THE GOLD AWARD 2K20 🏆3RD PLACE IN THE HONEYBEE AWARDS 2K20 🏆3RD PLACE IN THE SUNFLOWER AWARDS 2K20 🏆2ND PLACE IN THE WINNER AWARDS 2K20 🏆3RD PLACE IN THE RISING GEM AWARDS 2K20 🏆2nd RUNNERS UP IN THE PERDURABLE AWARDS 2K20 🏆3rd PLACE IN THE SKY'S LIMIT AWARDS 2K20
