Summary: In Simple Words, "Moving, Dramatic, Tragic"...
Review: ~Philip was a boy who loved to have fun and lived in the Caribbean, he was a racist to black people because of the influences from his mother. But one day, as he and his mother were leaving the islands through sea, they were attacked by German "U-Boats" and were seperated on sea and land. When he awoke, he layed beside a West-Indian man named Timothy and a striped little cat by the name of "Stew Cat". One day, Philip wakes up blind due to the direct contact with the bright sun, this is~~ the turning point of Philip's life, for he now has set aside his feelings of racism and depend on a man who was in Philip's words, "black, old and ugly".
Throughout the story of deep-survival, Philip is trained and taught to use his other senses by Timothy and throughout each day, he grows closer and closer to him. But when Timothy dies of old age and spend his last moments in life teaching Philip and pretecting him, Philip must now survive on his prior knowledge and the techniques~~ Timothy passed down to him. What happens next? I could tell you but I don't want to spoil it for you. I reccomend this book for any ages over 7 (obviously), it is a great book that unlocks the door to the imagination of the reader and allows him/her to experience an adventure without even leaving the couch. I give this book a 6/5 if it was possioble but since it isn't, I give it a 5/5 for it's tremendous storyline and heart-warming strategy of Theodore Taylor.~

Summary: The Cay
Review: The Cay is about a boy named, Phillip, who lives in Williamstad on the island of Curacao. World War II has just begun and Phillip and his mom must leave the island. After leaving the island, the ship that Phillip and his mom are on gets torpedoed, and Phillip is on a raft with a black man, Timothy. They are stranded on the Cay, and must survive together, even when Phillip's was taught to hate blacks. When Phillip goes blind he must learn to corporate with Timothy. They work together to get off the island. Eventually, Timothy dies of old age, and Phillip is heart broken. However, Phillip is found by a rescue boat, and brought back to his parents. Phillip has operations and eventually gets his sight back, but he will never forget Timothy.
Before reading the Cay I disliked it, but when I started getting deep into it I couldn't stop reading it. It was very interesting however, I felt it took a long time for the important scenes to happen, for instance when Timothy got sick I had a feeling that he was going to die, but it took four or five chapters for it to happen. For this reason, I thought the book was slow for my liking. In spite of, I felt that this book teaches many lessons, for example, when Timothy helped Phillip around and took care of him I thought that this showed that Phillip and the readers that you can never judge someone even from what you are taught. I really enjoyed this book and I think that everyone would love it even if you do not enjoy to read.

Summary: The Most Wonderful Book
Review: I chose The Cay because it was very emotional and was one of the greatest books I have ever read. The book was a white boy, named Phillip, who got in a shipwreck and landed on an island with an old black man, named Timothy. Phillip was prejudice until later on in the story. My favorite character was Timothy because he cared for the little boy and treated him with respect. My favorite part was when the hurricane was coming and Timonthy protected the little boy from getting hurt, because Phillip had gone blind, ...

Summary: If you read this ur cool!
Review: Theodore Taylor's book "The Cay" is a great book! It has many good lessons. The book also has many good details of everything.
The book is taking place during World War II .The book is about a boy (Phillip) and his family. They are leaving the island that they live on when their ship gets torpedoed.Phillip gets stuck on a life raft with one of the shipmates(Timothy). They end up on a cay and try to keep alive.
My favorite character was Timothy. I liked Timothy because he was a strong,unprejudice, and unselfish.
My favorite part in the book was the night that the ship got torpedoed. I like this part because it shows how hard it is to get off a ship without panicking or going crazy.

Summary: Excellent for reluctant readers!
Review: I've had a lot of trouble finding books that are age appropriate for my son, and hold his attention (he's 4th grade - extremely reluctant reader). A couple of weeks ago, I picked up "The Cay." It's a story about an 11 year old boy who gets shipwrecked with an older man from St. Thomas. The story line is great, with lots of things going on to hold a young man's attention.
My son is a reluctant reader who resists re-visiting words he has missed. But since he was so interested in this book, he was willing to go back and look at words that he missed when I asked him to, so he could get the entire meaning of what he was reading. No open defiance because he wanted to keep going to see what was going to happen next! It was just easier to look at the word so I'd quit bugging him. One of the reasons this was a good reading book for my son is that there was a lot of phonetic dialogue, with which the author illustrated the accent of the older man from the Virgin Islands. In the sentence immediately after the dialogue, the information about what the old man said followed - so anyone could pick it up even if they couldn't "read" the dialogue. We had a lot of fun with that - both of us trying to sound out the words, and trying to make our accents "sing-song" like the book said the old man's was. There were also a lot of foreign geographic names in the book that I couldn't pronounce. My son got a big kick out of helping ME. :-) After the first three nights of reading at home, he took the book to school to read during his free time. First independent reading he's ever WANTED to do! This book also had a lot of good social issues (set during WWII)regarding race, perception, empathy - all good discussion issues for growing boys!.
