Full review at Smoke & Mirrors: http://books-n-music.blogspot.com/201.... Stayed up too late last night finishing this one, but I couldn't stop!! I thought I would just read a few pages before going to bed, but that turned into reading the rest of the book! This is so very poignant! I can only imagine the shock of those who arrived on the island. I was very glad for the ending. I had remembered the death, but had forgotten the cure! :) I can see why I loved this as a child and I loved it

me: 5 starsson (age 10): 4.5 starsdaughter (age 5): 5 starsThis audio book was a winner with all of us! My son is currently interested in survival type stories, so I picked out a couple to listen to this month. This is the first of the two.This is the story of an 11 year old boy, Philip, who ends up stranded on a small remote island with an old West Indian man named Timothy, and a cat named Stew Cat after the ship they were on was torpedoed. To add to their worries over being stranded, Philip

I read this book with my students when I was a 5th grade teacher in Virginia... four times. However, I don't remember enjoying the book as much then as I did this year. A 12-year-old boy, Phillip, and an old black sailor, Timothy, are stranded on a tiny Caribbean island after their boat is attacked by the Germans near Curacao during World War II. Phillip has been blinded as a result of the shipwreck and must rely on Timothy to help him survive on the island.Theodore Taylor effectively

The Cay, written by Theodore Taylor, is a story set in 1942 during World War II. Phillip Enright, the 11 year-old main character, is excited when the Germans invade the small island of Curaçao. He is a naive character, and since war has always been a game to him, and hes eager to glimpse it firsthand (p. 11)until the freighter he and his mother are traveling to the United States on is torpedoed. When Phillip comes to, he is on a small raft in the middle of the sea. Besides Stew Cat, his only

Based on a true story, in 1944 or 45, Philip is shipwrecked on a life raft with Timothy (a black man) and a cat, with no hope of rescue.This book could be good if you ignored the racism and ableism, and generally harmful messages **so spoilers but it's not that hard to find if you literally just look at the questions*****Just a quick disclaimer: I am white, and I am bodily able, so I may not be the best voice in this, but if you were to read this book, you should know these things as they may be

This one was a life changer for me. . . This is one of those rare stories that feels so complete it 's rolled around and around in my thoughts since we've finished it. Read it on a rainy day when you might be feeling sorry for yourself. I LOVED the development of Philip throughout the story; lots of authors strive to create a dynamic character that matures throughout the story, but this authors really does accomplish it, and brilliantly. It's the line in the story when Phillip hollers, "They've

This is the best book eva!!!!! It is so sweet! I cried my eyes out at the end though!
