When a college graduate with a history of hapless jobs (ice cream
scooper; gift wrapper; laziest ever part-time clerk at The Pet
Library) reads Robert Louis Stevenson's novel "Treasure Island,"
she is dumbstruck by the timid design of her life. When had she
ever dreamed a scheme? When had she ever done a foolish, overbold
act? When had she ever, like Jim Hawkins, broke from her friends,
raced for the beach, stolen a boat, killed a man, and eliminated an
obstacle that stood in the way of her getting a hunk of gold?
Convinced that Stevenson's book is cosmically intended for her,
she redesigns her life according to its Core Values: boldness,
resolution, independence and horn-blowing. Accompanied by her
mother, her sister, and a hostile Amazon parrot that refuses to
follow the script, our heroine embarks on a domestic adventure more
frightening than anything she'd originally planned.
"Treasure Island!!!" is the story of a ferocious obsession, told
by an original voice-intelligent, perverse, relentlessly self-
extricating, and funny.
What animal would you be if your finger bones grew so long that
they reached your feet? Or what if you had no leg bones but kept
your arm bones? This picture book will keep you guessing as you
read about how human skeletons are like and unlike those of other
animals.
