Book Review for Treasure Island by Robert Louis Stevenson reinvented with doddles by Jack Noel (published by Egmont) This children’s classic should be the top of everybody’s must-read pile. This new interrelation of the much-loved story of Jim Hawkins who ends up going joining a mysterious crew and ends up sailing the seven seas looking for a long lost treasure. This new version is witty but keeps very much to the plot and language of the original Stevenson tale. The cartoons are laugh-out-loud funny but without dumbing down any of the content. For children that are perhaps a little reluctant to tackle the classics this is a super introduction to them as well. This is as fast paced as a comic book (in a fetching hue of blue, black and white) which will keep readers engaged for hours. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and will be recommending it to readers aged 9+ Great for fans who love pictures as well as writing, pirates, lost treasure and talking parrots
