03.2021 Book Recommendation // TREASURE ISLAND!!! by Sara Levine

Mikayla recommends... Treasure Island!!! by Sara Levine.

During the last year, I have really struggled with reading books. I know, I know, I'm a librarian! Reading is what I do, and it stressed me out that something I love so much had become such a chore for me. I tried to be patient with myself and ease back in, so I decided that I'd try exclusively reading books less than 250 pages in length, in order to ease myself back into it. And in doing that, I found my love of reading rekindled in the form of the book Treasure Island!!! by Sara Levine.

Treasure Island!!! follows a protagonist who finds herself increasingly unhappy with her adventureless life and series of dead-end jobs. After reading Robert Louis Stevenson's classic tale of rollicking adventure, Treasure Island, she resolves to redesign her life according to the story's Core Values: boldness, resolution, independence, and horn-blowing. It's such a fun tale, told by an utterly unique voice.
