'"We all love Treasure Island. It is the first book I remember my mother reading to me (how scared I was!) The story is a part of our history, and I love it so well that I wanted to tell it again, from the standpoint of a young pirate, who might just have been family." After Captain Flint dies in Savannah from the effects of yellow fever and too much rum, young Dick Brown and his pirate shipmates set out to find Flint's hidden treasure. Long John Silver, Dick Brown and the pirate crew struggle to win control of the vital chart. They finally succeed, but will their victory bring them the riches they dream of? Or will Dick find that there is more to life than gold, and that true love has a value far beyond sparkling jewels?' (Publication summary)
