Go read the classics, that’s what you think to yourself as you navigate the literary world of your elementary school student. You think that until you realize the number of distractions that they have, you didn’t. Now, factor in that the classics you wistfully want them to read are at a reading level that’s too advanced and can be a little boring at times for those eight-year-old readers. Classic Adventures’ Treasure Island is by Robert Louis Stevenson, but this version is adapted by Jacqueline Dembar Greene and it’s got illustrations that were done by Carlo Molinari.

Come for the classic story, Stay for the illustrations
