The+Cay

By Theodore Taylor Amazon



A boy named Philip lives in the very small town of Curacao and has always thought war was fun and a game which it was not. He one day was on a boat and was torpedoed and separated from his parents. He then knew war wasn’t a game and he was picked up by a guy named Timothy. Philip and Timothy had nothing. Barely any food, a cat, and one pair of clothes...the ones they were wearing. They had hoped to captured which didn’t happen until way later. A hurricane comes through and it does not result in something good. Philip becomes blind. My favorite part was when Philip is captured and gets his vision back. He ends up with his parents, and the book ends on a good note. You will love this book if you are a war person, a person who likes war, or wants to learn about it. -Thomas H.
