‘He was singing: Fifteen men on a dead man’s chest, yo ho ho… ’
Jim Hawkins, a brave young boy, first hears the strange song from an old pirate, Billy Bones, in his family’s inn. Then other pirates from evil Captain Flint’s ship arrive. They’re looking for a treasure map. After Billy Bones suddenly and mysteriously dies, Jim finds the map. He sets sail on an adventure to an island with friends, and enemies. As soon as they reach the island, he knows the pirates will attack. Who will survive? And will they find any treasure?
