Lately I've been reading Nim's Island by Wendy Orr. I had watched the movie trailer for Nim's Island and never relized that it was a book, so I was super excited when I found it in the children's section of Hastings. It's not a very long book, maybe 150 pages, but it's really good. Just from watching the trailer I can tell that the movie will not be exactly like the book but that it will have the some differences, like the villian for instance.
For anyone interested here's the summary:
A girl. An iguana. An island. And e-mail. Meet Nim–a modern-day Robinson Crusoe! She can chop down bananas with a machete, climb tall palm trees, and start a fire with a piece of glass. So she’s not afraid when her scientist dad sails off to study plankton for three days, leaving her alone on their island. Besides, it’s not as if no one’s looking after her–she’s got a sea lion to mother her and an iguana for comic relief. She also has an interesting new e-mail pal. But when her father’s cell-phone calls stop coming and disaster seems near, Nim has to be stronger and braver than she’s ever been before.
And here's the trailer:
