Review: Nim at Sea by Wendy Orr

Today, in January Magazine’s children’s book section, contributing editor Sue Bursztynski reviews Nim at Sea by Wendy Orr. Says Bursztynski:

The only book by Wendy Orr I had read before was the rather grim Peeling The Onion, in which a teenager who had been an athlete is now confined to a wheelchair and has to get her life in order. Of course, teenagers enjoy tragic tales -- at least, the ones I know do -- and it was a good story for its audience. Nonetheless, it was a pleasant surprise to come to Nim at Sea -- a book intended for younger readers -- and find it gentle and funny and warm.
