Nim Rusoe is a girl who joins her father, a scientist, when he does research on marine life on an island. It's just the two of them but she spends her time making friends with all the animals she encounters, chatting on the computer and reading the adventure books of Alex Rover. When her father goes to do some research but when a storm strikes the island he doesn't come back, she gets worried and frightened. She then e-mails Alex Rover hoping that he will come but what she doesn't know is that Alex Rover is a woman who is agoraphobic and germaphobic. But her creation comes to life and eggs her to go. Unfortunately she has never gone anywhere before and is denied her necessities like her sanitary gel by the customs officer at the airport. In the meantime, Nim tries to be strong while waiting for Alex to arrive.

I was nine years old when I went to the cinema to see this. I htought abigail was so uch older and mature, when I watched this film, her voice sounded so deep and strong. Now i'm 14 looking at her now, I can see that she is only a little girl. Little kids can't see that they are little kids and they can't see that other kids are little too - @Saturday, February 11, 2017 6:24 PM

She was cute girl. - @Tuesday, November 8, 2016 11:19 AM

They could have done a Nim's Island 3 instead of a Captain Underpants movie. Sign the petition to have Captain Underpants shelved and do a Nim's Island 3 where Nim (Madison Pettis), her dad, Edmund and Alex Rover locate her missing mom who is swallowed by a blue whale underwater. - @Saturday, May 2, 2015 4:41 PM
