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.
Charlotte Anderson is finally headed to Treasure Planet. There's only a tiny snag: she has to pretend to be someone she's not, bury her past, and somehow avoid blowing herself up in the process. Easy, right? Totally no pressure.
Enter Jim: infuriating, distracting, and impossible to ignore. He's trouble. She's trouble. Together, they're a walking disaster, and somehow Lottie might be enjoying every chaotic, exasperating second of it.

I dunno, guess I wanted to finish what thirteen year old me started. But god, the grammar was pathetic. Anyway, enjoy!
