Looks like family film specialists Walden Media really haven’t found a kids’ tome they didn’t want to adapt into a film.
The latest target in their sights is Nim’s Island, written by Wendy Orr, which follows a young girl joining her father on a voyage to a remote island in the South Pacific. But tragedy strikes when he’s lost at sea, and she strikes up a communication with someone she thinks is a fantasy character, but is actually a hermit-like author.
