Summary: Stranded
Review: I liked the book The Cay. It was interesting, though some parts were scary. I liked the character Timothy, because he was a good guy and to Phillip it did not matter what color Timothy's skin was, because Phillip was blind. Phillip ended up trusting Timothy with his life.
We read the book in class, and most people liked it. To me it gave me a real look about what it was like in World War Two, when my grandfather was a pilot. It gave me a look on how hard it was for everyone, even if you were innocent. Phillip was only a boy but the War changed his life drastically, like so many others, because he was stranded.

Summary: Review of the Cay
Review: When I started reading "The Cay" I did not like it. But as I got more into it, it got more interesting. It had suprises all through it. When I was done I was suprised. The boring story that it started out being had developed into a very good story.

Summary: History Lessons
Review: This is a great book, full of learning opportunities for all. While others may think the events unlikely, I think the following is worth considering: "The tanker MS J.A. Moffett was torpedoed and shelled by U-571 on 7-8-42 in the Floriday Keys while en route from Baltimore to Port Arthur, Tx. Cpt. Pat Mahoney was killed while launching a life boat."The scenario wasn't impossible was it?

Summary: Ah, One of Those Good Books
Review: This was a great book I really liked it! I really liked some of the parts on the island. Sometimes when Timothy left Phillip by himself on the island at first. Like when Timothy left and carved a fake cat so that Phillip would think Timothy killed the cat, or another time when Timothy left to gather wood to build the hut. I liked the way the Author told you why Phillip really became blind, not just the way Timothy thought it happened. The only thing that makes this four book instead of a five is that it had one of those perfect endings. I still do not get how him and his mother got on different boats though I wish the author explained it better. Over all this was a very good book I would read it again.

Summary: A great book... beside the scenario
Review: This book is really a good book. I mean, sure, I've read better, but it was an exceptional book. The only reason I didn't like it is that the setting is impossible. A boy, in the middle of WW2, takes a boat to get to the US, and a sub sinks his boat. Phillip( the main character)gets a concussion and falls of of the boat. Miraculously an Old sailor named Timothy saves him and floats to an uncharted island and events happen that are pretty exciting! but i don't want to blow the whole story for you so i won't tell you. So basically i would recomend this book to anybody, but the scenario isn't that great.

Summary: looking back
Review: I am a 22 year old woman, and I can remember as if it were yesterday, sitting in my fourth grade class with Mr. Sierpina and listening to him read this great book to our class. This book has touched me so much that even today I look back and remember how much i enjoyed this novel. I just hope that this book isnt forgotten and more and more people read it, and experience what i had back when i was a child.

Summary: The Bay State Animal Loving Girl
Review: This is an amazing book. It is one of my favorite books I have ever read. It is about a boy named Phillip, a black man named Timothy, and a cat named Stew Cat. They get stranded on a no-named island in the Devil's Mouth that is unheard of. The Devil's Mouth is a dangerous place for boats. Another thing that will add to their misfortune of the dificulty of being found is that it is the middle of World War II and nobody dares go outside of their docks. Phillip is left blind after a terrible knock on the head when the boat "The Hato" sinks from being bombed by a U-boat. He is blind two days after that, but Timothy predicts that he would become blind in a matter of time. Timothy is around the age of seventy, but is still strong and powerful. He prepared for all three of them to servive on this deserted island. He makes things from the island around him to help the whole gang servive. With Phillip's blindness, he may totally forget about his predujice against blacks, or will it become stronger?

After reading this book, you will wish you were on a deserted island with only Timothy, Phillip, Stew Cat and yourself.
