The Cay

Description

Theodore Taylor.  Phillip is excited when the Germans invade the small island of Curaçao. He’s eager to glimpse war firsthand–until the freighter he and his mother are traveling on is torpedoed. When Phillip comes to, he is on a small raft in the middle of the sea. Besides Stew Cat, his only companion is an old West Indian, Timothy. Phillip remembers his mother warning about him black people, but Phillip’s head injury has made him blind and dependent on Timothy. A classic tale of adventure and friendship. Paper; 160 pages
