Weighing the pros and cons

From: Winston, Pri 4, Henry Park Primary School

The pros of April travelling to Svalbard right away is that it is better to take prompt action than just sit there worrying about Bear. Besides, if it is Bear, April can take this opportunity to reunite with Bear once he recovers (hopefully) and her friend Tor. If it is not Bear, April may also visit Bear again on that island and her friend Tor.

The cons of April travelling to Svalbard right away is that the travelling time might be longer than desired due to unforeseen challenges such as unexpected weather during the voyage. Also, with the limited manpower and weak influence of only April, Tor, and their fathers, they would not be able to achieve their goal of saving Bear.
