Robert Louis Stevenson text set

My thirteen-year-old recently read Treasure Island by Robert Louis Stevenson.  He also read excerpts from the following books to further his understanding of the author.

1. Across America on an Emigrant Train by Jim Murphy
(focuses mainly on the building of the transcontinental railroad)


2. B is for Bagpipes A Scotland Alphabet by Eve Begley Kiehm illustrated by Alexa Rutherford
(not a lot of information about Stevenson, but great information about Scotland!)


3.  Lives of the Writers by Kathleen Krull illustrated by Kathryn Hewitt


4. Treasure Island


5. A Child's Garden of Verses


6. The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde and the Body Snatcher  A Graphic Novel illustrated by Robert Smith
(Disturbing images-use caution with sensitive individuals.)
