Description

The Cay is a tense and compelling survival story about a young boy and an old man adrift on the ocean, then marooned on a tiny, deserted island. Their relationship is a fascinating study of prejudice and racism, as the boy's biases are challenged by his dependence on the old man.

The novel, written by Theodore Taylor, explores themes of survival, human connection, and the complexities of racial relationships. First published in 1969, it has become a significant work in children's literature.

Published in 2014, this paperback edition of The Cay is a great choice for readers interested in survival stories, social commentary, and historical fiction.
