The cay
The CayI thought at the start of the book this was going to be good. Theodore Taylor was going down the right track with the exciting background,Philip Getting separated from his parents on his way back to Virginia from the town of Willemstad, a town in South America their ship is torpedoed by German U-boats coming because of World War II Philip gets hit on the head and awakens to find that he is on a raft separated from his parents with no one except a cat named Stew-Cat and a West Indian and racially explained "negro" (sorry for any racial names)and to top it all off he goes blind! Being stranded on a cay in the middle of nowhere with nothing but a keg of water and stale crackers Philip thinks he is doomed!This book has an exciting start and a heartwarming end, it will keep you wanting to read it over and over again!Preston Amato of elgin
