The Island Treasure

John C. Hutcheson

Adventure, Novels

What begins as a runaway cabin-boy's escape from respectable society becomes a fight for survival on a haunted island. Young Jack navitage the treacherous waters aboard the 'Denbow' under the iron fist of Captain Snaggs, a man whose cruelty drives his crew to desperation. When a monstrous tsunami hurls the ship onto the rocky shores of Abingdon Island, Jack finds himself stranded with a handful of survivors, a tyrannical captain, and whispered rumors of treasure guarded by something far more dangerous than the sea. The island holds secrets in its jungle depths, and the promised gold comes with a spectral price. Jack must navigate mutiny, mystery, and the ghost of the island's past to claim the treasure and find his way home. This is adventure fiction at its purest: a young narrator whose innocence contrasts sharply with the deadly serious world of seafaring men, where a boy's courage matters more than a captain's rank.
