I agree with you. I was very impressed that both Tom and William were as active as they were for elder men. However, it seemed like something bad was going to happen to either one of them. I kept holding my breath while reading, especially whenever they encountered external factors that would derail their journey, such as their search for Sarah, the severe thunderstorm, the surveyors threatening them, and the fires.prenaramesh wrote: ↑02 Oct 2017, 03:56 I got the feeling Tom and William were around 70 (I might be wrong here) So I'm actually surprised they even survived this trek! I think it is the magic / the supernatural elements / the bear that helped Sarah survive. I don't think any thirteen-year-old girl who gets lost for 8 days in the wilderness in harsh weather conditions with no food will survive.
PS: I now think I might be a very pessimistic person.

Getting to Bob-Bob's grave was of the utmost importance at that time. William was driven by sheer determination and his friendship with Tom. Another trek would just be too much.
I don't know if it was Sarah's age so much as it was her stubbornness and underlying strength.
Thanks for the comment
