Description
The Cay by Theodore Taylor When war breaks out, Phillip's excitement turns to reality as he and his mother are torpedoed off course. Waking up on a small raft in the middle of the sea, Phillip finds himself stranded with only one companion: an old West Indian man named Timothy. As they face the challenges of survival, Phillip's preconceptions about people from different backgrounds are put to the test. With his head injury and growing dependence on Timothy, Phillip must confront the harsh realities of their situation and learn to rely on each other for survival. A tense and moving story of endurance and revelation, The Cay explores themes of humanity, brotherhood, and the power of love in the face of adversity.
