Nim at Sea

The gorgeous follow-up to Nim's Island, which is now a major feature film starring Jodie Foster and Abigail Breslin.

Wendy Orr lives in Australia with her dog and her family. She was born in Canada and grew up with various pets, in various places in North America and France. Once, when her family sailed to a new home, the dogs wore life-jackets, but the guinea pigs had to stay in their cages. Wendy is the author of several award-winning books.

Nim lives on the most beautiful island in the world with her father, Jack, a marine iguana called Fred, a sea lion called Selkie and their new friend, Alex Rover. Nim is as free as a bird, and as happy as a girl could be. 
 
But when Alex flies away in the sea plane without saying goodbye, and Selkie is captured by villains from a cruise ship, Nim must risk everything to bring them back. Her dangerous rescue mission takes her far across the ocean to New York City. It's a good thing she has Fred and two new friends by her side. 
 
Readers aged 8+ will fall in love with Nim and her wonderful island friends!
