Summary: A story with life's lessons throughout!
Review: My sixth graders learn to love Timothy and appreciate his gentleness and concern for Phillip. They get into very deep discussions about relationships between different cultures, and I have seen compassion from students I never thought could empathize with others. Great book!! :)

Summary: Ummmmmmm..........NO!
Review: This book really lacked the tension and the evolving storyline that makes you want to finish a book. I realize that it IS a kids book and that action and suspense might not be in this book's genre, but gimme a break. It was just plain boring. There are better books out there that provide a engaging plot and a higher degree of characterization than "The Cay". Even if it doesn't have death and destruction and things getting blown up it could still be "pleasantly enjoyable". It might of been cooler had it been called...."The Cat". Stew is the best.P.S. Don't read it.

Summary: SHOWS THE UNDERSTANDING OF HOW TO SURVIVE
Review: The book the cay was very inspirational and it showed how important how it is to live and it makes you realize how important it is to be alive and having a caring family and that if you were alone on an island, you should fight to stay alive.

Summary: At 40 still one of the most memorable stories from my youth.
Review: I first bought and read this book in the 5th grade. It made a profound impression on me and it was one of the books that I remember rereading and enjoying each time. Today at age 40, I've read and/or recommended this story to several generations. The Cay is still one of the most timeless and poignant stories I remember. I reread it again this year just for me and loved it.
