Theodore Taylor is a wonderful and excellent writer. I have read all his books and the one that sets my blood stream going is 'The Cay'. I was in the shop one day mad with my mum, and i looked on the shelf and there it was. I picked it up and begged on my knees for it. Finally she was persuaded and the book was mine. That night I read a whole five chapters and couldn't put the book down. Finally I fell asleep with the book open over my face. The book gave me chills, happiness and always left me in suspense. The saddest part of the story was when Timothy died and Phillip buried him. The greatest part was when Phillip was found. I hope that more and more people read this after I have written this review, because after all it is one of the greatest books I have ever read!
One boys discovery of true friendship February 27, 2001

A brilliant book of one boys adventures on an Island in the Carribean. The book shows how Phillip copes without his mother. He also tries to come to grips with the fact that black and white people are all the same inside. This story tells of one boys discovery of true friendship despite social misbeliefs of ageism and racism.
 great July 2, 2000
A wonderful book about a white boy overcoming his prejudices against an elderly black man when they are stranded on a dessert island, a truly great read.
A very good book filled with adventure! March 28, 2000
This book is about a boy who is a racist and what he has to face when his life depends on a black man. A book filled with many emotions.
