"A sweet, light-hearted island survival story. I think that this would be enjoyable to read with students or a family -- it's easy reading with a bit of suspense, but nothing very scary. The relationships between Nim and her animal friends were quite cute. And Nim's island would be a fun place to visit."
"When I read this book, I thought to myself that this girl (Nim) is really brave and I would never have done the things she had. It makes you think that you have to have confidence in yourself and just try to have a fun adventure with whatever you are doing. You have to believe that no matter what happens you will try your best. I loved this story it was really great and inspiring!"
"A young girl, Nim, seeks help from the author of her favorite adventure series when her scientist father goes missing. Nim, though, lives on an island in the South Pacific. The author, Alexandra Rover, is an agoraphobic living in San Francisco. Rover overcomes her fears and sets out in search of Nim while Nim tries to overcome her fear of losing her father. In the meantime, a cruise ship company threatens to invade Nim's island with uncouth tourists.
Great book, good movie. It's adorable. Nim is a very likeable character."
"A fun girl's adventure, with a girl protagonist who can fend for herself in just about any situation. Nim and her scientist father live happily on a tropical island. When her father leaves on one of his frequent scientific jaunts in his boat, Nim happily takes care of her home and pets -- until her father is delayed by mechanical problems and a storm. By email, Nim contacts an adventure writer named Alex, who flies (and boats) to Nim's island to help. The movie that was made from this book is pretty true to the original plot, except for the character of Alex, who in the book was not nearly as fearful of going out in the world as she was portrayed in the movie. It was so overdone in the movie that you couldn't believe that she could actually overcome her fears and leave her home. A fun adventure for girls 7-12."
