Lost, Trapped, and Found are all in a series. Twelve year old Sarah Robinson is angry that her father got remarried. Her father and her step mom book a family vacation on a yacht. The yacht crashes, and Sarah, her dad, and her step family are all stranded on an island. There are strange things happening on the island. Sarah might not make it out alive, but that is for you to find out. One of the main conflicts that seemed to cause all of the other problems in the story was Sarah's father's remarriage. Sarah doesn’t want to accept the fact that she is going to have new siblings. I think the author's message in this book is that you have to adapt to your new surroundings and circumstances. Another way that she incorporates this message is the fact that Sarah, her step family, and her dad are trapped on an island and they need to adapt to survive. Will they live? More importantly, will they get along. S. A. Bodeen described erie things on the mysterious island, but the real question is not what caused those thing. The real question is will the plot armor be thick enough to protect our main protagonist.
