Jim Hawkins, a young boy who lives with his parents and he helps his father run an inn. One day, an old sailor entered the inn. He was tall and strong. The sailor was known as Captain Billy Bones and when he entered the inn, he took a sailor's chest with him. Jim was afraid of him. One morning, a shabby man with two missing fingers visited the inn. The man named Black Dog, he came to look for Captain Bones. The Captain was very surprised by the arrival of the Black Dog and they quarreled. Jim noticed Captain Bones was furious, while Black Dog left Admiral Benbow with a bit of a run. Not long since the arrival of Black Dog, a week later, returns a blind man who is also looking for Captain Bones. When they met, fighting broke out again and when the blind man left the inn, Captain Bones fell and died of a stroke.
After the Captain's death, Jim and his mother opened their sailor's chest and found some money and a treasure map. This map is what brought Jim along with some of his friends, a doctor, judge and former ship captain decided to set sail in search of the treasure island. Jim was very excited because this was his first trip across the ocean, but it turned out to be not as smooth as he had imagined. One day, on the boat Jim fell asleep in a barrel. He woke up when he heard some people talking nearby. These people didn't realize Jim was nearby, but Jim could hear very clearly what they were talking about and how surprised he was to learn that the men were plotting a rebellion. They plan to kill Jim and the rest of the ship so they can have the treasure. Jim had just found out about the evil plans of several people he considered friends, but he couldn't move, he was afraid that his whereabouts would be known.
My Opinion
I rarely read an adventure book, but this one is so good. The story was packed in a good way, the sentences also very easy to understand so I really recommend this book for you guys who love to learn english. My favorite character is Dr. Livesy, because among the characters, he's the one who I think really take care of Jim. I think that's all from me, and you can read the book by click the link down below. Thank you! <3
