About the Book
A companion to Taylor's bestselling modern classic "The Cay," this prequel-sequel tells the rest of the story of Phillip, a young white boy, and Timothy, an old black man, who become stranded on a small sandy cay in the Caribbean.Book Synopsis
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.
Review Quotes
"Timothy's chapters sketch a murky sea of racial prejudice; readers will ache with him at his losses. Phillip's chapters, in a terse first person, depict the narrowness of his mother's world with a clarity heightened by Phillip's blindness. A journey well worth taking."--Kirkus Reviews
"Superb."--The Bulletin --
