The Cay by Theodore Taylor
4.0
D'Ette had to read this book for school and she loved it. She asked me if I would also read it.
It's a children's book, so it doesn't take long to read. I read the whole thing in about two hours.
It's easy to see why the book won literary awards and was made into a movie. It's a great story, told from the point-of-view of 12-year-old Philip, who gets lost at sea with a black man after the boat he is traveling in with his mother is attacked by Germans. Philip loses his sight and is forced to learn how to live on a small island without his sight. It's a great story for older kids or adults looking for an adventure to read in an afternoon.
