The Cay
The
Cay is an action packed adventure book that leaves you hanging after every
chapter. This book takes place during
world war two in the year 1942. The main
character in this novel is Phillip.
Phillip is originally from Virginia, U.S.A but later moved to the small
island of Curacao in the Dutch West Indies. After his island was invaded by
German submarines Phillip and his mother were forced onto to a boat travelling
back to the United States. Just a few
days after they boarded the ship they got torpedoed by a German submarine. While boarding life rafts, Phillip was
knocked out by falling boards from the boat and fell into the water. He was saved by Timothy that pulled him out
of the water onto his raft. They were
lost at sea with no one in sight. This
novel can be a little slow at the beginning but trust me; you end up loving it
at the end with maybe even a tear in your eye.
