Summary: The Island of Danger
Review: I thought this book was interesting because the people work as a team which are Timothy and Phillip. The favorite part I liked was when the readers thought he was killed but it was just a carving of Stew Cat. It's a moving and thrilling adventure because Phillip got blind and now he has to live a different life. They try to struggle for life, and they try to call for help. How they all got their is that they had a ship wreck and they landed up on the Caribbean Island. I have enjoyed so much as a 6th grader and you will too!

Summary: Review of The Cay
Review: The Cay tells the story of a boy named Phillip and his unsuspecting friendship with a black man, Timothy. The war and the German submarines have come to Phillip's part of the Caribbean, and Phillip's mother fears for their safety. Phillip's dad must stay behind for his job, but Phillip and his mother board a ship that will take them back to Virginia where they originally lived. Two days after being on the ship, the ship is torpedoed and during the evacuation, Phillip is separated from his mother. Phillip awakens to find himself on a raft with Timothy and a cat named Stew Cat. The three castaways finally reach a small cay where they must learn to live off the land in order to survive while they hope to be rescued. There are many conflicts in this book that the main characters must overcome. This book is not only a great survival story, but a touching story about overcoming prejudices and seeing a person for whom they really are.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The Best Book
Review: If you haven't read this yet, read it. Prejudiced Phillip ends up stranded with a giant, elderly, African-American, first on a raft, and then for a very long time on one of the Florida Cays. But he is horrified even past what the big ugly man causes, when he finds that he can't see anymore, a thump on the head after the ship Phillip, his mother, and Timothy were on was torpedoed causes Phillip to go blind. After many months on the empty cay, Phillip begins to love Timothy, and learn how to surrive with his blindness. But then tragedy strikes-I cried and cried and cried. The end makes everything a good deal better, but you'll find yourself comparing how sad things are to this book. This is a must-read!!

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Do you like to sleep.
Review: Over all the Cay was a good book. It had some draging parts in the story,but a good message. Thye message was team work and treating people with the upmost respect, despite your differances. Someday you may need that persons help, and in a bad situation differsncs don't matter.

Rating: 5 stars

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: The Cay Review
Review: The story that I read was the Cay. The author of the Cay is Theodore Taylor. I think he is a very good author. He has written other various books like Battle In The English Channel and The Battle Off Midway Island.

The Cay takes place in the 1940's when World War II takes place. Phillip (the main character) lives in Willemstad on the coast of the Carribean. His mom and himself get on a boat to move away because of the war, but while on the ship they get hit by a missle by the Germans. So then Phillip is separated from his mom and gets hit on the heard. When he wakes up he is on a battle boat with a guy names Timothy and a cat. The story is about how they survive.

I didn't like the book that much because it's not they type of book I like to read.

Rating: 4 stars
