(3) 4-6 Illustrated by Kerry Millard. Nim is content living on a deserted tropical island with her scientist father and a friendly sea lion and iguana for company. When her father's boat is temporarily stranded at sea, Nim begins an e-mail correspondence with Alex Rover, a very unadventurous adventure writer. Their letters, full of humorous misunderstandings, are a delight in an evenly paced narrative. The whimsical illustrations match the story's light tone.
