HTML:<b>For fans of <i>Hatchet</i> and <i>Island of the Blue Dolphins</i> comes Theodore Taylor’s classic bestseller and Lewis Carroll Shelf Award winner, <i>The Cay</i>.</b><br />    Phillip is excited when the Germans invade the small island of Curaçao. 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 />    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 mother’s warning about black people: “They are different, and they live differently.”<br />     But by the time the castaways arrive on a small island, Phillip’s head injury has made him blind and dependent on Timothy.<br /> “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.”—<b><i>New York Times</i> <i>Book Review</i></b><br />  <br /> “A taut tightly compressed story of endurance and revelation…At once barbed and tender, tense and fragile—as Timothy would say, ‘outrageous good.’”—<b><i>Kirkus Reviews</i></b><br />  <br /> * “Fully realized setting…artful, unobtrusive use of dialect…the representation of a hauntingly deep love, the poignancy of which is rarely achieved in children’s literature.”—<b><i>School Library Journal</i>,</b> <b>Starred</b><br />  <br /> “Starkly dramatic, believable and compelling.”—<b><i>Saturday Review</i></b><br /> <i> </i><br /> “A tense and moving experience in reading.”—<b><i>Publishers Weekly</i></b><br /> <i> </i><br /> “Eloquently underscores the intrinsic brotherhood of man.”—<b><i>Booklist</i></b><br />  <br /> "This is one of the best survival stories since <i>Robinson Crusoe</i>."—<b><i>The Washington Star</i></b><br /> · A <i>New York Times</i> Best Book of the Year<br /> · A <i>School Library Journal</i> Best Book of the Year<br /> · A <i>Horn Book</i> Honor Book<br /> · An American Library Association Notable Book<br /> · A <i>Publishers Weekly</i> Children’s Book to Remember<br /> · A Child Study Association’s Pick of Children’s Books of the Year<br /> · Jane Addams Book Award<br /> · Lewis Carroll Shelf Award<br /> · Commonwealth Club of California: Literature Award<br /> · Southern California Council on Literature for Children and Young People Award<br /> · Woodward School Annual Book Award<br /> · Friends of the Library Award, University of California at Irvine.
