Annotation:
In this fun fantasy adventure reminiscent of the Swiss Family Robinson and Robinson Crusoe, a girl named Nim lives on a top-secret island with her scientist father, Jack, and a handful of devoted animal friends. It's fine with Nim that her father goes off to explore for a few days. But when a terrible storm cuts off contact between them, Nim must draw on all her strength to cope with Jack's disappearance.

Kirkus Reviews
"Plenty of comic, freely-sketched line drawings help to keep the tone light, and Nim, with her unusual associates and just-right mix of self-reliance and vulnerability, makes a character young readers won't soon tire of." 12/15/2000
