Publisher Description

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.

"Taylor did a great job of writing this prequel/sequel after such a long period of time between the first book. Both story lines were interesting. It made me want to travel more throughout the Caribbean and also to appreciate my sight and that I have never had to have a major operation."

    " Loved this, especially the synoptic and episodic overview of Timothy's life. It made "The Cay" so much richer, and made me wish that teachers would assign the books together. My highest recommendation. "

    " This was a great follow up of the first book. I loved how the stories of the two main characters were continued and Timothy's childhood was filled in. Phillipe has to have surgery on his eyes and that is always hard. "

    " The Cay was magical, and Timothy of the Cay just didn't measure up. The flashing from character to character didn't work for me, because I didn't see any parallels or symbolism from one storyline to the other. It ended up disjointed and unsatisfying. "
