Summary: Treasure Hunt
Review: Treasure Island

A young boy named Jim who has lived all his life with his parents working at the Admiral Benbow had a normal life. But when Jim's father dies and the guest they have Captain Billy Bones dies he has to take charge. So when he finds a map in Bill's trunk he sets off with a crew to Treasure Island. After arriving at the island he encounters more than he bargained for. Robert Louis Stevenson put together a great book that every age would adore. He starts with details to make the story clear and then takes of on a fascinating story. Jim Hawkins & Long John Silver are classic imagination. Robert Louis Stevenson combines action, detail, and history for a slam pack thriller that everyone should read. The theme of the book is that nothing turns out how you want it to. The theme is kind of weak but the book is still good.

Summary: A Run For Treasure
Review: Treasure Island, a story about a boy who goes on an adventure of a lifetime (a treasure hunt!), is an action packed book for young adults to enjoy. Though the book had too much description to get to the point, it was a good read. From good guys, to bad guys, sailors, to mutineers, friends to enemies, Treasure Island has it all. The authors' word choice for this book is incredibly sophisticated and makes the book a little more descriptive, ( though I was not always sure what the words meant). Using "ship slang" and having the characters say just what they need to say at the right time. The theme in this book is one we always need to keep in mind "be careful who you trust, people aren't always to be what they appear to be". So if ever you need a good book to read I definitely recommend Robert Louis Stevenson's Treasure Island.

Summary: Ahoy There
Review: Join Jim as he discovers the map of an eminent sailor, Captain Flint.

While Jim and his friends make their voyage across the wide sea to the island, (literally) backstabbing, murderous pirates make cunning plans to take the treasure for their own and bathe in the riches.

Therefore, thus the basis of it's appeal, Treasure Island was an okay book. The beginning of the book wasn't as enthralling as the rest but don't skip it or you'll be clueless.

As G.S. Frasier said, "There will always be a place for stories like Treasure Island that can keep boys and old men happy."

Summary: Chase for treasure
Review: Chase for treasure by; Britta Butler

Follow Jim Hawkins and the crew through a heart-pounding- escapade for treasure. In the beginning Jim Hawkins comes by a map from a rum-dum sailor that comes to his families inn. Jim once said "All was so new and interesting to me, the shrill note of the whistle, the men bustling to their places in the glimmer of the ship's lantern." Long john Silver Is a great character in this story also, he makes it remarkable and makes some conflict between good and evil. The gold of Treasure Island is up for grabs in the chase for treasure and risk of your life.

Summary: My Favorite Fictional Book
Review: Treasure Island is one of the most facinating tales of courage and friendship written for children. I have read this book at least five times, and have since lost count. It is a sprited adventure story, that stimulates vivid mental pictures.

Summary: I really liked this book
Review: I really liked this book. My favorite part is when the kid is on the ship alone with the pirate and gets in a fight on the mast. This is a great story, but some parts were kind of hard to understand. Its best if your dad reads it to you.

Summary: Edge-of-your-seat Suspense!!!
Review: This book is absolutely amazing! The beginning may have been a little dull, but towards the middle I really started to get into it. The story kept me glued to the book. I would get dissapointed when I was told to stop reading. It seemed that every time I had to stop, there was some adventure that had just begun.

It starts out with a struggling family who owns an inn. One day, an adventurous seaman, known as the "cap'n" comes to their inn. Once the pirate dies, the inn owners son, Jim, starts to check out the cap'n's chest that was in his room. Jim discovers a map that leads to Captain Flint's buried treasure. This brings along many adventures, and laughs!

Jim and the town doctor and the town squire set out to find this buried treasure. During the trip to Treasure Island, Jim makes the startling discovery that the people working and sailing the ship are planning to overthrow the captain and his men. Once there, Jim, the captain, the doctor and the squire sneak off to the other side of the island. This leads everyone to war as Jim meets a castaway that had been on the island for three years. This man helps Jim and the other men to saftey, while the leader of the pirates, Long John Silver, continues to hunt for the treasure.

Jim and the castaway take control of the pirates ship and are soon looking for treasure themselves. Jim, wandering about on his own, falls into the clutches of the enemy. This creates commotion as the castaway and the other men try to free him, but cannot. The pirates are soon out looking for the treasure again with Jim and make it to where the treaure should be. To their surprise, it is gone!

The doctor and squire kill the other pirates, except for Silver, and take him and Jim to the castaways cave. The castaway, having been on the island for three years, had found the treasure and carried it all to a hidden cave by the coast. Inside the cave was also meat that the castaway had hunted for. Jim and the others make it to the cave and move the treasure onto the boat.Then they sail away and everyone lives happily ever after (except the pirates).

Review: This book is great! I loved how it kept you on the edge of your seat. If you like adventure books that you never know what is going to happen next, then read this book.

It starts off slow however, but the action heats up in the end. You absolutely MUST read this book it is the best. You'll read all the pages in one sitting if you have the chance. Anyway just read it!

Summary: An Utopian Society?
Review: Animal Farm is an inspirational writing that has given rise to heated debates over the possibilities of an Utopian Society. This book delves into the lives of farm animals as they try to create their own perfect society away from the entrapments of man. This book begins with the pigs taking charge, of the pigs two strong leaders emerge Napoleon, and Snowball, and each of them feels they are the best. Eventually, Napoleon chases Snowball off using viscious dogs that he raised from pups so he has the majority of the power. The irony in this book is awesome it comes rushing at you like a flash flood. This book is targeted for young adult readers, and it is a quick read.
Anyone would like this book from the fifth grade on up. Allthough it is more suited for raders ages 13-24 due to the subject matter. Animal Farm is based on animals turning a society that was democratic into a communist one. The society that was intended to make life easier actually made it a more miserable existance for all. "All animals that year worked like slaves."
Animal Farm deeply dives into the ideals of a society without flaw, and then slowly turns into communism, and a dictatorship. The writer reveals the irony of the perfect society turning communist brilliantly. The ideals of the animals change drastically in this book, and it is perfectly boud together so that it will really make you think.
This book was very well written. It presents a great deal of politics, and the idea of an Utopian Society. Animal Farm slowly reaveals all the animals ideals turning into the very thing they despised on the first place.
Young adults will thouroughly enjoy Animal Farm. It shows that there is no such thing as a perfect society , and there is no point looking for one. All in all thi is one deep book.

Summary: Rabbit Hill
Review: New folk's coming to rabbit hill and all are excited because these folk's may be "plantin' folk's." In this book there are many animal charecters, some of the main charecters are lil'georgie, a rambunctious rabbit with loads of energy. And Uncle Analdas who always seems to have misplaced those "dangblasted" glasses. join lil'georgie on his adventure to uncle analdas's burrow. And experience the suspense the animals feel waiting to find out who the new folks are. I think this book would be great for young readers in grades 2,3,and 4.
young readers will have a blast in imaginitive hill were communitys of small animals live.
Robert Lawrence does a great job telling this newberry award winning tale. you might catch yourself holding your breath while the contractor decides weather to build the wall over moles burrow or to go around it.
This book is well organized, suspensful, full of action, and adventure. its great because it blends human decisions with animal reactions.
I reccomend this book to young readers in grades 2,3,and 4.
