| Jonathan and Abby were alone on Magpie Island. | Mom broke her ankle and needed to see a doctor quickly. |
| Abby had to use a walker to help her walk. | Abby was in an accident when she was two and was partially paralyzed. |
| Jonathan and Abby did not have any food or water on the island. | The camper with their supplies had been crushed like an aluminum can by a giant redwood tree. |
| Jonathan and Abby did not have a way off of the island. | The bridge to the island had been snapped into two pieces by the earthquake. |
| Jonathan was unable to spell out HELP and begin a signal fire. | The river was rising and it had covered the beach and part of the forest floor. |
| Jonathan stops every so often and makes an arrow out of twigs as he walked to the bridge. | He needs to make sure that he can get back to Abby. |
| Jonathan promised Abby lemonade and a cupcake. | He wanted her to continue walking towards the camper. |
| Jonathan had Abby try to climb the roots of a giant redwood tree. | The water was rising rapidly on Magpie Island. |
| Jonathan sang silly songs with Abby. | He wanted to keep her from crying, so she would stay calm. |
| Nobody heard them calling when they passed Beaverville. | The town was on fire and no one was near the shore. |
