  <description><![CDATA[This award-winning novel remains a powerful classic of prejudice,  love,  and survival. In 1942, 11-year-old Phillip Enright lives with his parents on the Dutch island of Curaçao, but when the war moves too close for  comfort, his mother decides to travel with him back to the safety of Virginia. When their boat is torpedoed, however, Phillip is blinded and finds himself adrift on a life raft with an old black man and a cat. They eventually land on a deserted island.  Phillip is suspicious of &quot;the large Negro,&quot; but soon grows to trust--and ultimately love--the patient and generous Timothy. Dedicated to &quot;Dr. King's Dream,&quot; <em>The Cay</em> has a clear message that friendship is colorblind; it is also a terrific adventure story of a young, newly blinded man learning to survive on an uninhabited island. (Ages 12 and older) <em>--Richard Farr</em>]]></description>

    <![CDATA[This award-winning novel remains a powerful classic of prejudice,  love,  and survival. In 1942, 11-year-old Phillip Enright lives with his parents on the Dutch island of Curaçao, but when the war moves too close for  comfort, his mother decides to travel with him back to the safety of Virginia. When their boat is torpedoed, however, Phillip is blinded and finds himself adrift on a life raft with an old black man and a cat. They eventually land on a deserted island.  Phillip is suspicious of &quot;the large Negro,&quot; but soon grows to trust--and ultimately love--the patient and generous Timothy. Dedicated to &quot;Dr. King's Dream,&quot; <em>The Cay</em> has a clear message that friendship is colorblind; it is also a terrific adventure story of a young, newly blinded man learning to survive on an uninhabited island. (Ages 12 and older) <em>--Richard Farr</em>]]>

This book is about a boy who becomes shipwrecked on an island with a man who is black, who he had never met before.

    <![CDATA[This award-winning novel remains a powerful classic of prejudice,  love,  and survival. In 1942, 11-year-old Phillip Enright lives with his parents on the Dutch island of Curaçao, but when the war moves too close for  comfort, his mother decides to travel with him back to the safety of Virginia. When their boat is torpedoed, however, Phillip is blinded and finds himself adrift on a life raft with an old black man and a cat. They eventually land on a deserted island.  Phillip is suspicious of &quot;the large Negro,&quot; but soon grows to trust--and ultimately love--the patient and generous Timothy. Dedicated to &quot;Dr. King's Dream,&quot; <em>The Cay</em> has a clear message that friendship is colorblind; it is also a terrific adventure story of a young, newly blinded man learning to survive on an uninhabited island. (Ages 12 and older) <em>--Richard Farr</em>]]>

War has always been a game to him, and he’s eager to glimpse it firsthand–until the freighter he and his mother are traveling to the United States on is torpedoed.<br/><br/>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.
