This book is about a girl named Nim that lives on an island with her dad and her “friends”. Nim’s dad sets sail for three days to collect plankton, while Nim stays on the island. Nim’s dad is not worried about Nim because her “friends”, Fred (iguana) and Selkie (sea lion), would be watching over Nim. While her dad is gone she takes care of the island and does her usual chores. On the second day Nim got an E-mail from Alex Rusoe asking some questions about coconuts. Nim told him that Jack is not available and later finds out that Alex Rusoe is a writer of her favorite book. Nim and Alex send E-mails back and forth. Jack does not return in three days, but sends Nim letters by having a bird name Galileo take them to the island. The letters tell what is happening on his raft and Nim sends letter back. Will Jack return? What do the E-mails say? This is a great book for boys and girls but, I think that girls would like it better.
