Summary
The book Stranded by Jeff Probst is about four kids. They are Carter, who likes to lead, Jane, a smart nine year old, Vanessa, the oldest and most responsible, and Buzz, the guy that thinks he is all that and a bag of chips. They went on a boating trip, but they crashed on an island in the Pacific Ocean. They also lost contact with anyone but were able to send a brief distress call before they lost all the battery. They tried all kinds of ways to signal ships and planes to get off the island, but they started to run out of water. Jane and Carter then went to look for fresh water. Read the book to find out if they survive or not.

Theme
Dialogue
"Hey Vanessa is that you?"
"Carter? Jane?" he yelled. "Are you in here?"
"Keep talking!" Carter called out. "Where are you?"
"We're...here!" Buzz yelled. "Where are you?"
"Should we get the flashlight?" Vanessa said. " It's still on the boat."
"I don't know," Buzz answered.
"There they are!" Jane said. "Omigosh...it really is...Carter, we did it! We're back!"
The importance of this section of dialogue is that it's when they all are reunited from being separated into groups.
