Summary: WOW! WHAT A BOOK! YOU MUST READ!
Review: I really enjoyed this book because it keeps you guessing what was going to happen next. The other reason why I really like this book is because it has alot of adventures. I liked the character Phillip Enright because he never gave up. The other reason I liked this character is he was very brave. The best part of the book was when Timothy(A fearsome west Indian native) and Phillip begin living their life on the cay. When they begin their life on the cay, is where their adventure begins. Phillip becomes blind and Timothy must show him how to survive without him on the cay. At the end of this book, Timothy becomes ill and could die at any time. Phillip is now left alone to find his way off the cay. Does Phillip ever get his eyesight back?? Does he ever get off the cay?? Does he ever see his parents again? That is a mystery till you read this wonderful book, The Cay, By Theodore Taylor.

Summary: Blind...But Now I see
Review: Phillip, a 12-year-old boy, saw Timothy as a stupid, ugly old black man. It wasn't until Phillip became blind that he could actually "see" the real Timothy. This is a fast-paced, action fiction story set during World War II in the Caribbean Sea. All reference to war and bombs cease when Phillip and Timothy are shipwrecked, alone, on a deserted island. Their adventures there include survival, tropical storms and a revelation of the roots of prejudice. A very touching story. Theodore Taylor wrote this book in the 1960s and, in recent years, the sequal, Timothy of the Cay.

Summary: The Cay
Review: After surviving a German attack on a tanker headed to the United States, Phillip, a young American boy, finds himself on a raft in the middle of the sea with a 70 year old West Indian black man. Phillip has been taught black people are "different" and feels Timothy is "beneath" him. After suffering from a head injury, Phillip becomes dependent on Timothy for his life on the island where they have become stranded.

Although Philip is a spoiled and immature child, Timothy is patient and caring. A turning point in the book is when Timothy finally, after enduring much frustration and disrespect from Phillip, loses his temper. His action causes Philip to change drastically and begin to see Timothy as something much more than a stupid old black man.

I would recommend this book to students from 5th to 8th grade. It shows how prejudice is instilled and how it can be conquered.
It is an exciting survival story with an interesting plot and a wonderful theme.

Summary: Survival
Review: When I started reading the Cay I didn't like it but when I started reading it I kinda liked it. Not that much but I didn't really like it that much. I'm sorry if I heart your feelings really I'am the only part I liked from The Cay is the part when Timathy died. I like bloody things.
