fearing the worst, nim writes to her fave superhero alex rover, to come and rescue her from the island.
it turns out that alex rover isn't the real alex rover (or the one nim thought she was), and thuis alex rover is only the author of the books- and is actually an agoraphobic, and faced with the prospect of going to the island.. it scares her no end.
but her husband helps her, and soon they get to the island where nim says that she wasn't the person she asked for, go away
i'm not going to spoil anymore of it.. in case you decide to read it
