A beautiful, story with suspense and drama! I read it with my fifth graders while we were studying World War II. Timothy and his mother are torpedoed while traveling back to the states from there little island home during WWII. Timothy becomes shipwrecked with a West Indies man and finds out about friendship and survival. A wonderful story, good for adults too!

This review is from: A Guide for Using The Cay in the Classroom (Paperback)

It is about a white boy and the S.S. Hato has sunk in the middle of the ocean. The boy gets hit in the head and is blind the next day. An African-American man recused him from the sunken ship and floated away in a little boat. They finally see land and settle in. Both of the struggle to keep alive in hopes of returning home safely. They learn to stick together and the boy learns new survival skills. This book probably wasn't good for me because I had to read it for a book report and it just wasn't my type. But I will say that if you like small but heart-warming books then the cay is your kind of book.
