Great news, kat!

I loved "Life of Pi" too. My son and I listened to it on a long road trip a couple of years ago. (That is not to say it is a children's book.) It is one of the few audio books that we have listened to over and over again, or will even listen to a random selection on a short trip or for half and hour in the evening when we get home late from something like soccer practice. I pick up some previously missed nuance almost everytime I listen.

LH, A young teen's family from Indian decides to emmigrate to Canada. The ship goes down. The boy ends up adrift in a lifeboat. It is a brilliantly imaginative novel that explores spiritual and psychological survival and resiliency. At least that is my description. I will be interested to see how Nick describes it. From what I know of you from the 'Cat, I think you would find it a very satisfying read.
