For fans of Hatchet and Island of the Blue Dolphins comes Theodore Taylors classic bestseller and Lewis Carroll Shelf Award winner, The Cay . Phillip is excited when the Germans invade the small island of Curacao. War has always been a game to him, and hes eager to glimpse it firsthand-until the freighter he and his mother are traveling to the United States on is torpedoed. When Phillip comes to, he is on a small raft in the middle of the sea. Besides Stew Cat, his only companion is an old West Indian, Timothy. Phillip remembers his mothers warning about black people: ``They are different, and they live differently.`` But by the time the castaways arrive on a small island, Phillips head injury has made him blind and dependent on Timothy. ``Mr. Taylor has provided an exciting story...The idea that all humanity would benefit from this special form of color blindness permeates the whole book...The result is a story with a high ethical purpose but no sermon.``-- New York Times Book Review ``A taut tightly compressed story of endurance and revelation...At once barbed and tender, tense and fragile--as Timothy would say, outrageous good.``-- Kirkus Reviews * ``Fully realized setting...artful, unobtrusive use of dialect...the representation of a hauntingly deep love, the poignancy of which is rarely achieved in childrens literature.``-- School Library Journal , Starred ``Starkly dramatic, believable and compelling.``-- Saturday Review ``A tense and moving experience in reading.``-- Publishers Weekly ``Eloquently underscores the intrinsic brotherhood of man.``-- Booklist ``This is one of the best survival stories since Robinson Crusoe .``-- The Washington Star - A New York Times Best Book of the Year - A School Library Journal Best Book of the Year - A Horn Book Honor Book - An American Library Association Notable Book - A Publishers Weekly Childrens Book to Remember - A Child Study Associations Pick of Childrens Books of the Year - Jane Addams Book Award - Lewis Carroll Shelf Award - Commonwealth Club of California: Literature Award - Southern California Council on Literature for Children and Young People Award - Woodward School Annual Book Award - Friends of the Library Award, University of California at Irvine
