Treasure Island!!! by Sara Levine ’98 PhD (Europa/Tonga). How much harm can a boy’s adventure story do? A lot. Inspired by Robert Louis Stevenson’s classic, our self-centered protagonist pursues what she sees as the book’s core values: boldness! resolution! independence! horn-blowing! She steals $1,000 from the till at work, buys a parrot, dumps her best friend, alienates her boyfriend, and moves back in with her grown sister and parents to disastrous effect. Levine’s swashbuckling tale reminds us that what really takes guts is love.
