Theodore Taylor's classic book The Cay takes place during World War II when the Germans invade the small island of
Curacao. As a young boy, Philip, is very excited by the idea of war, which seemed like a game to him. But when a
German submarine attacks the freighter he is traveling on to the United States with his mother, the war now becomes a
reality. He is injured and then becomes marooned with an old black man, depending on this man for survival. There are
three major themes in The Cay: survival, sacrifice, and overcoming prejudice. Philip needs to reevaluate the stereotypes
and prejudices he has been raised to believe in order to survive this ordeal. The Cay is a gripping novel that holds your
attention until the very last page.
