Based on Annet Huizing’s novel How I Accidentally Wrote a Book
Sometimes it’s easier to write something down than to say it out loud. That’s why 12-year-old Nina loves writing so much. With the guidance of a grumpy writer living next door, Nina discovers the healing power of writing. As she writes, Nina uncovers her family’s history, experiences the long-suppressed grief of her long-lost mother, and opens her heart to a new family member and her first love. Blending live action with animation through unique visual elements, I Accidentally Wrote a Book celebrates the wonder of storytelling.
