Nim's Island

Nim (Breslin) lives on a deserted island in the South Pacific, along with her marine biologist father Jack (Butler), where they spend their days exploring and carrying out scientific experiments. One day Jack sails to a local atoll to gather nano-plankton, leaving Nim behind to care for some newly hatched sea turtles. A sudden storm disables Jack's boat, leaving poor Nim with only her faithful animal friends to comfort her. In desperation Nim reaches out via e-mail to her literary adventure hero, Alex Rover (also Butler), and pleads with him to travel to Nim's Island to help find her dad. What Nim doesn't know is that Alex is actually Alexandra Rover (Foster)—an agoraphobic author who hasn't left her San Francisco apartment for 16 weeks. Will Alexandra and Nim find the courage to be the hero of their own story? Based on the novel by Wendy Orr. (Stacey Pendry)
