PRINTER FRIENDLY VERSION
First published in 1929, this is the thrilling novel of a group of children who set off to England on a ship after their home in Jamaica is destroyed by a hurricane. Their vessel is taken over by a crew of pirates and the Caribbean adventure becomes part hallucinatory fantasy, part unsentimental commentary on the realities of the child mind. For readers of all ages, this classic was named one of the 100 best novels of the 20th century by the Modern Library.
