Nim's Island Page #3

and Galileo and the new Alex Rover book.

- I'll be excellent.

- All right, all right.

- You just come back with Protozoa Nim!

- I will!

I'll see ya Thursday!

Love you!

Love you too!

I'll radio you tonight!

No parties while I'm gone!

#Baby, baby

#I wanna make him stay up all night #

#Sister, Sister

He's just a plaything #

# We wanna make him

stay up all night #

#Here we go #

#See him drink from a bottle #

#See him eat from a plate ##

Ooh, two new e-mails.

Aren't we popular?

Hey, Freddie.

How's it goin'?

"Dear Jack Rusoe, I need a bit of help

on my newest adventure.

Might you be able to answer

a few questions for me? Alex Rover. "

Alex Rover?

Alex Rover is writing to my dad?

Do you think it's the Alex Rover?

It's him! It's him! It's really him!

Dear Alex Rover, I'm sure Jack would love

to help you with your newest adventure.

He's a great fan of yours.

We both are.

From... Nim.

"Dear Alex Rover...

"I'm sure Jack would love to help you

with your newest adventure.

"He'll be back on Thursday.

He's a great fan of yours. We both are.

From Nim. "

Nim. Hmm, what an unusual name.

Dear Nim, are you Jack's

research associate?

Jack wrote of a volcano

where you live.

Are you familiar with it?

Sincerely, Alex Rover.

Send.

- What are you doing, Alexandra?

- Um, research.

Go. Go. Go away.

Leave me alone.

You don't mean that.

You love me.

And what makes you so sure of that, huh?

Because the whole world

loves Alex Rover.

Really? I know.

"Translated into 21 different languages. "

No pressure, no pressure,

no pressure.

You've been writing chapter eight

for three months now.

So either sacrifice me to the damn volcano

or let me find my escape already.

- Hey! It's time to finish the book.

- Shh!

- I'm thinking.

- Yeah. You're thinking. You're thinking.

That's the problem. You've gotta

get outta your head and into your body.

Hey, that's it. Kinka.

"Kinka"?

Kinka!

Kinka!

Kinka!

Yeah!

It was incredible, Jack.

Chicca's babies were born

tonight, just like I said.

- That's excellent.

- And the mole crabs were crazy hungry.

It was so important that I stayed.

I saved all six turtles.

Well, they're lucky you were there.

I'm proud of you, honey.

- How's Zander's Atoll?

- Oh, I wish you could see this, Nim. It's-

I mean, it's more incredible

than the Milky Way.

Next time

there's no negotiating, okay?

Have you found

my nanoplankton yet?

Mmm. I have a pretty good

feeling about it.

Now, go to sleep, Nim. No more reading.

We'll talk in the morning.

How did you know I was reading?

Oh, I know you pretty well.

Good night, Nim.

Sleep tight.

It's just magnificent.
