I read this in middle school and wanted to remind myself why I enjoyed it so much. As I recall, it is quite an adventure for a middle school student. Generations later, this story is a bit tamer, but it is still fun to read. Young Jim Hawkins gets involved with pirates, which is still as believable today as it was years ago. This is a great classic; today's kids will struggle with some archaic language used during the 1700s.
