Bookroo's summary

Jonathan, his sister Abby, and their dog Moose are trapped on Magpie Island after a catastrophic earthquake. With their camper destroyed and the bridge to safety gone, they face the wilderness with no supplies. Can Jonathan keep his cool and protect his family in this dire situation? As they navigate the perils of the wild, survival becomes a test of courage and ingenuity. Will they find a way to escape, or will the island's challenges prove too great? Discover the thrilling journey of resilience and hope in the face of nature's fury.

From the publisher

When Jonathan and his family go camping on Magpie Island, they look forward to a fun, relaxing weekend. But their fun quickly vanishes when Jonathan, his sister, Abby, and their dog, Moose, find themselves in the middle of a natural disaster. A devastating earthquake has hit, destroying their camper, knocking out the only bridge to the mainland, and leaving Jonathan, Abby, and their dog with no food, water, or shelter. Alone in the woods, can Jonathan manage to keep calm and save Abby and Moose–and stay alive himself?
