Treasure Island 2020
Treasure Island 2020 is a Peabody Award-nominated reworking of the classic story by Robert Louis Stevenson, Treasure Island. Originally created for BYUradio’s daily storytelling show, The Apple Seed, the whole family will enjoy this 10-episode adventure drama from BYUradio and Gen-Z Media. James Hawkins helps his mom run a motel in modern-day Montauk, Long Island. But when a mysterious man washes up on the beach with a treasure map tattooed on his chest, James discovers that Billy Bones is, in fact, a time-traveling pirate from the 18th century. James and his new friends, Morgan and Max, follow the map right into a magical portal that leads them back nearly three hundred years into a swashbuckling adventure.
