Jill Simonian: Treasure Island by Robert Louis Stevenson

/in , /by



What can a classic pirate adventure teach today’s kids about courage, resilience, and growing up?

In this episode of The Book Club, Michael Knowles is joined by PragerU Kids’ Jill Simonian to discuss Robert Louis Stevenson’s Treasure Island. Together, they explore Jim Hawkins’ dangerous journey from a sheltered boy to a courageous young man and what his adventures teach about virtue, loyalty, greed, risk, and the consequences of our choices.

In an age when children are increasingly sheltered from danger and failure, Treasure Island offers a very different vision of growing up: face reality, develop discernment, stay resilient, and never give up.
