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.
