The Cay is a survival story that can be hard to read in some areas with Timothy’s heavy, bold sailor’s accent. This story partly takes place in Curacao during World War II. Phillip’s father decides Phillip and his Mother, Grace, will move to Panama, because it wasn’t safe in Curacao for him to wonder around and play with Henrik. Timothy and Phillip get stranded after their ship was sunk by a German U-Boat that shot a torpedo and Timothy and Phillip take a raft to a small deserted island and are trying to get rescued, so Timothy has to keep his eyes and ears open for engines and horns from aircrafts and ships, while Phillip can't do much till he gets his eye sight back I would recommend this book to anyone who loves survival or who has read Hatchet by Gary Paulsen, though everyone will enjoy it because it teaches you a little bit of really important information on how to survive and everyone needs to know how to survive. You’ll definitely need to slow down with Timothy’s accent or you will go crazy. If you finished The Cay and you liked it there is a sequel called Timothy of the Cay.
