Y durante unos días deberá hacer frente a un tornado completamente sola. Bueno, sola no, están Selkie, Fred y Chica, una hembra de león marino, una iguana y una tortuga, y su ordenador, gracias al cual podrá mantener contacto con el mundo. Nim and her father live alone on a tropical island. When a storm delays Jack from returning from a scientific trip, Nim has to rely upon herself, her animal friends -- an iguana, a sea-lion and a turtle -- and a satellite email connection to a correspondent of her father’s. This was published back in 1999 and although I'd read other books by Orr, I'd never read this one or saw the film adaptation. A librarian recommended it for reading aloud to my class and it was an excellent choice. I thought the prose was delightful and evocative, and my students were engaged by the story. no reviews | add a review
