This is a great book for children and adults! Anyone looking for high sea's adventure will love the storyline. Billy meet's all kinds of interesting people along his way and finally gets the adventure he is looking for. A very good read indeed!

I would recommend this story to those who love Treasure Island and the stories of Old. I purchased this story book for my grandson and watched him read it without stopping to take a break. A few days later, I began to read it. my mind began to wonder back to my own childhood of Robert Louis Stevenson Novels. I found a few errors in the book editing but who cares, I love this story book and will put it on my book shelf. R. Region Arrington is now my favorite author, The Robert Louis Stevenson of the 21 century INDEED!

I just finished reading The Voyage of Billy Buckins, and I think that kids will enjoy this tale of a brave young boy, heading out to sea. I've always liked historical tales, and sea-faring tales, and this is both. It would probably make a great Christmas gift for the kids in your life, too.
