Summary: Touching story of friendship
Review: I read "The Cay" when it first came out in 1995, and have since regarded it as one of my favorite books. While the book is targeted for young adolescents, and this reviewer is no longer a young adolescent, it is nevertheless a surprisingly moving and engaging story of friendship and survival in a bleak environment. Destined to be a classic of young adult literature, "The Cay" send its message without being too obvious and preachy. Highly recommended for young readers.

Summary: Ms. Clark's Class Review
Review: The Cay was a very good book but my class found it confusing at times. The accent of Timothy made it difficult for the kids to understand the conversations between Timothy and Phillip. The kids also found it hard to visualize at times because of the way the story was told. The kids liked the way Phillip overcame his racist beliefs to accept Timothy as a friend. The kids also liked the way Timothy was willing to sacrafice his life to save Phillip. The ways Phillip struggled with his blindness to survive on the cay was inspirational and provided the kids with a real sense of overcoming obstacles in life to have success. This is a great book to read with a class. My 6th grade class read it and for the most part enjoyed the novel. It was able to spawn some great discussions. It was a great novel to teach at the beginning of the year. - Written by my 6th grade class

Review: After having read the book of a boy lost at sea named Phillip, who to me was a very adventitious boy with lots of courage. Turned out to be interesting and good reading. This was a summer assingment which was rewarding and educational.

Review: I thought The Cay was a book of courage and trust. I think Timothy and Phillip were very brave though there were many dangers on th island. If I was in Phillip's place, I wouldn't last very long.
