In class we are reading Nim's Island by Wendy Orr. We are up to chapter 5 and it is very exciting. The story is about a girl called Nim and her dad called Jack. They live on an island away from all those pesky tourists. No one knows where the island is and no one can get onto the island unless they have a small boat that can sail over the reef that surrounds the island. Some children in our class have seen the movie but they are not allowed to spoil the story for anyone. We might even watch the movie after we have finished the book to see how different or similar it is. That is what we did when we read Indian In The Cupboard. We found that the movie was very different to the book.
