“A wonderful coming-of-age story, Egg Island takes us on a quest with runaway teenagers Julia and Colt. As on any quest, they are met with challenges and temptations, where they must be brave and sometimes crafty in order to continue on their journey to find the elusive Egg Island. They encounter many colorful and intriguing characters on their journey, and learn important lessons. A worthy modern-day quest myth. Enjoy the ride!”
— Nancy • Raven Book Store
Two laconic teenage runaways plunge deep into backcountry, farther and farther away from civilization, searching for an extraordinary place that may or may not exist.
On the move for who knows how long, Julia, age unknown, walks into a gas station. There, the tall, ominous kid with a studded belt and crusty eyebrow ring who's stocking the fridge stops his work and leads her out back to the restroom. What happens next is technically grand theft auto.
Egg Island is the peculiar and darkly humorous story of Julia: a runaway in search of the elusive locale known as Egg Island, a place where, she has been told, the sky breaks the exosphere and the path to a new home will be revealed. Julia's journey is the story of the shy camaraderie between two bruised teens, stretching beyond roads, forests, and outer space, as they learn to reconcile their histories with the big, open future.
Sara Flemington's stories have appeared in several journals, including subTerrain, the Humber Literary Review, and the Feathertale Review. Egg Island is her first novel. Sara lives in Toronto.
