A Top 10 Book of the 21st Century —Paul Tremblay, The New York Times

“Truly insane...One of the most fun reading experiences I can remember.” Emily Temple, LitHub

A recent college graduate with a history of hapless jobs reads Robert Louis Stevenson’s novel Treasure Island and is dumbstruck by the timid design of her life. 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. The result is “a total hoot. Outrageous!!! Delightful!!!” (Nancy Pearl, NPR) and one of Literary Hub’s “50 Best Contemporary Novels under 200 Pages.”

“A rollicking tale, shameless, funny and intelligent.”—Rebecca Barry, The New York Times

“Levine sports an original, brutally witty voice.”—Kristi Lanier, The Washington Post

“Levine’s voice is a wild ride.”—Aimee Bender, author

“Had Grace Paley spent her youth hanging out with Larry David, listening to the Ramones, and reading Stanley Elkin, she’d have probably written something like Treasure Island!!!”—Adam Levin

“Insane, hilarious, and irreverent.”—Alice Sebold, author

“Why don't you throw yourself headlong into the TORNADO OF CHAOS that is the protagonist of Sara Levine's Treasure Island!!!—especially if you enjoyed the television program Fleabag?”—Molly Young, Vulture

“Highly original…will keep you entertained in spite of (or more accurately, because of) its toxic narrator.”—Library Journal
