Nim's Island for Grown-ups

I read this book because Gerard Butler will star in the movie. But I have to say, I enjoyed the book. I finished it in 2 hours and think it's a cute story. While the chances of this adventure really happening are slim, the premise makes a good story. Dad gets lost at sea and Nim is stranded on an island alone. She must cope with day-to-day living - feeding herself, daily chores, etc. Hmmm, would a child really eat radishes for lunch? I think Wendy Orr is a really good children's author. I passed the book on to my 10 year old granddaughter who loved it. She was sad when it ended, and said she wants MORE NIM. She was thrilled when I told her that there will be "Nim at Sea" coming next year. While I will go to see the movie because of Gerard Butler, I will enjoy seeing how they interpret Nim's buddies, the sea lion, the iguana, and the turtle.

[[ASIN:0385736061 Nim's Island]
After reading the book and seeing the trailer,both are excellent family entertainment with all the fun expanding on tne screen and in print. In the movie 300 star Gerard Butler plays super duel roles of Jack Rusoe, a great, connected Dad and Alex Rover, the imaginary, adventure story book character of author Jodie Foster. Both Jodie and Abigail Breslin steal your heart with charming performances.

A Great Read for Young and Old, alike

This is a great read for children and adults, alike. I read this before giving it to my 7 year old grandaughter and I fell in love with all of the characters and the animals. What a delightful book of an island adventure! It has action, mystery, adventure, excitement and love. It teaches you to use your imagination to visualize the island and its animals. It encourages bravery, commitment and learning about new places and things. Books like this one encourage children to read more. What else can you want from a good book?

Great preteen reading.

Abigail is eleven years old and her story is full of mystery, fun and warmth. Preteen girls can experience island adventures vicariously through Abigail's story...this is the kind of book that will be read and read again.

Delightful Nim's Island

I purchased the book because it is being turned into a movie starring Gerard Butler, Jodie Foster, and Abigail Bresling. I was absolutely delighted with the little book. It takes you on this little journey with maps and Nim's friends are special animals. The little story flows easily and leaves you wanting more. Can't wait to see what the movie industry does with the little book.
