Publisher's Synopsis
X marks the spot! When young Jim Hawkins comes into possession of a mysterious treasure map, he sets sail in search of gold and jewels with the local doctor and magistrate. They're joined by Captain Smollett and a crew of sailors handpicked by Long John Silver, the ship's cook with one leg and a talkative parrot. But beware-here there be pirates! And they're after the hidden treasure too! Can the crew of the Hispaniola uncover the treasure first? Or will the pirates beat them to it?
