Summary: The Cay
Review: I liked the book because it show how a boy grew into a man by taking on responsbilities. He was blind so that show that anyone can do anything by taking on their own responsblities. It also informed me the many ways to use a product from nature and find many uses of it. It was a very useful book with alot of information that could be helpful and used in every day life. I shows how strong a friendship can grow even if at first you didn't like someone but showed you the true them and not just how people say and think they act. If someone would take their life for you so that you could live than I would call that a good almost best friend. I really Enjoyed this book and it was rather interesting.

Summary: The Cay **AWESOME BOOK**
Review: I loved this book! This book all started out on a little island off the coast of Venezuela, name Curacao. 11 year old Phillip and his family were transferred there because of his dad's job. Suddenly a war broke out and Phillips mother did not think that it was safe to stay in Curacao, so she decided to take Phillip with her and then meet up with her husband after the war was over. On the way back to Virginia, where they were originally from, the ship was torpedoed. Suddenly a kind gentlemen pulled Phillip on the raft, but unfortunetly, was not able to get his mother. It turns out that the kind man's name was Timothy and he was very nice to Phillip. Timothy and Phillip end up being stranded on their little raft for several days, until finally they spotted land. Phillip was a little hesitant at first, but he decided to go ahead and step foot on this mysterious island. **Will they survive, or will death be promised ashore this beautiful island.?***

Summary: Dis be an outrageous good book.
Review: My sons and I enjoyed this book as a read aloud. I didn't know how to pronounce many of the proper nouns but did the best I could. The failing, however, was with me not the book. This book taught many moral lessons including hard work, perserverance, sacrifice, independence, and not feeling sorry for one's self. I hope my sons are better for having been exposed to the examples of Timothy and Phillip.
