Among the host of dastardly characters meet Long John Silver, ship's cook and charming villain - is he young Jim's best hope of survival? This is a classic swashbuckling adventure story told at an exciting and fast-moving pace to retain interest. Vibrant full-colour artwork adds fresh appeal to this classic tale. Speech bubbles work with the main text to emphasise and enhance the retelling. A running glossary at the foot of each page helps young readers with any challenging vocabulary without disrupting their reading experience.

It fits into Key Stage 2 English and supports Key Stage 3 English. It helps achieve the goals of the Scottish Standard Curriculum 5-14.
