FROM ONE END of Sunshine Island to the other, people stared as Jack sailed his raft past the roaring Jet Skis, through the swimmers and snorkelers in the calm water, and right up onto the beach between the sunbathers and sandcastles.

He pulled down the sail and folded it into its bag, in case he needed it again. Curious people gathered around to watch him.

“Where’s the airport, please?” Jack asked.

Someone pointed down the road.

Someone else took his picture.

“It’s a long walk,” one man said. “I’ll drive you.”

“Thanks.”

Jack followed him to a golf buggy parked at the top of the beach, and the crowd drifted back to their sunbathing and sandcastles.

But when they reached the airport: “You’re in luck!” said the man at the ticket counter. “You can get on a flight tomorrow morning.”

“But I need to go today!” said Jack.

“Tuesdays and Thursdays—that’s it.”

Thursday! thought Jack. That’s the day Alex and Nim left. If they missed the flight, they’ll still be here.

The man with the golf buggy drove him all around the town till late at night, but they never found a sign of Alex or Nim.
