Publisher Description
In the eastern reaches of the Thames lies the Hispaniola, an inn kept by Jim Hawkins and his son. Late one night, a mysterious girl named Natty arrives on the river with a request for Jim from her father - Long John Silver. Aged and weak, but still possessing a strange power, the pirate proposes Jim and Natty sail to Treasure Island in search of Captain Flint's hidden bounty. But the thrill of the ocean odyssey gives way to terror as the Nightingale reaches its destination, for it seems Treasure Island is not as uninhabited as it once was... Silver is a worthy sequel to Treasure Island and a work of extraordinary authenticity and imaginative power from one of England's greatest writers.

Silver Listener Reviews
-
" This was good, however I had high expectations of suspense and it did have slower parts. "
— Adrianne, 2/12/2014 -
" Pretty good, though the pace and characterization varied. Maybe it would be more of a treat if I had read Treasure Island more recently. "
— Keeley, 1/14/2014 -
" The first and second acts of this book were well written and beautifully developed. However, once the characters arrived on the island they split up and I found myself less invested. I did not finish the book. "
— Megan, 1/10/2014 -
" Well written prose, easy to read but the characters were not very enveloping. "
— Susan, 6/16/2013 -
" I am annoyed by ambiguous endings. This book has one. I admired Motion's style, but my conclusion is that "Treasure Island" didn't really need a sequel. "
— Shawn, 5/19/2013 -
" I really wanted to like this book but ultimately it did not sweep me up the way I expected it would. "
— Laurie, 4/22/2013 -
" A perfect sequel, just as boring as the original "
— Guido, 11/14/2012
