About this audiobook
Fifteen men on the dead man's chest—yo-ho-ho, and a bottle of rum!
When young Jim Hawkins discovers a mysterious treasure map in the sea-chest of a deceased, rum-soaked pirate, his life is changed forever. Leaving behind the quiet Admiral Benbow Inn, Jim boards the Hispaniola to seek the legendary plunder of the infamous Captain Flint. But the crew isn't what it seems. Hiding among the seemingly honest sailors is the cunning, one-legged ship's cook, Long John Silver—a ruthless buccaneer secretly plotting a violent mutiny. As the island's shores draw near, Jim is thrust into a deadly game of wits, survival, and betrayal where trusting the wrong man means certain death.
