About this ebook

In the novel The Cay, a young white boy and an old black man are stranded on a small sandy cay in the Caribbean Sea following a shipwreck. Eleven-year-old Phillip was blinded by flying debris when a torpedo struck the SS Hato, and old Timothy has taught him how to survive. This prequel-sequel tells the rest of their tale in alternating chapters--the compelling story of two very different people who share the courage and tenacity to turn their dreams into reality. Includes a reader's guide.

Ratings and reviews

It took me awhile to finish since I was off and on with this book, I took long breaks. I like the back story of Timothy though I got lost of who was who and the language was hard to cypher for me, but it was a nice read I recommend it.

I loved that I was able to find out what happened after the Cay. I read The Cay when I was young, and again as an adult :) So it was nice to have this book as well. I found Phillip,s story to be more interesting than Timothy's though. Still a great book. :)

It is so awesome my school reads it and they love they have lost of questions...💞💞💞
