At Sea with Bindi and Nim: Return to Nim's Island and the Realities of Adaptation

When Wendy Orr's second children's novel about Nim was made into a movie, the plot – and even the title – changed pretty drastically. Here, in terms specifically aimed at middle years students, the author explains why this level of change is not just acceptable but crucial when turning a book into good film. With an introduction by Lee Burton.
