Nim's Island
I know it's a 'kid's book', but I was just in the mood for something really light hearted after reading a few heavy books. I hadn't seen the movie so I had no previous knowledge of what it was about or if it was any good. I am quite a fan of self sustainability and isolated settings, so when they're in a book... I generally am pretty happy. And I actually really loved this book. Full of great morals (which I sometimes miss, reading teen/adult novels). Nim's love for her father, island and friends is a powerful force to be reckoned with and as she corresponds with an author over in USA, she projects and shares what is an incredible passion. Heart warming and empowering, I'd read it to my kids (when I have them) over and over in a heart beat.
