This story is "outrageous"
I loved this story! This story is one of my favorites when I had to read it in school. To the teachers and/or school board, this book is highly educational (especially for History), and focuses how race doesn't matter even if you criticized them from the beggining. Timitohy is a GREAT role model and helps and protects Peter even though he is blind. Peter starts off snobbish, but he becomes a better person throughout the book. It's a really inspirational story and if you believe your kids are mature enough, then you should allow them to read this book.

Great book
It is a well written book about survival with a happy ending but also sad because timothy dies in the middle of the novel.

Life Lessoned Book
I have to say the book is pretty good! It can get a little hairy and racist at points. In the end it could teach kids at lesson of maturity,survival,trust, and sacrifice. Which I think kids, like me, should be comprehended about. This is coming from a guy who's 11 in the 6th grade too. lol XD

The Cay Is Terrible
This book is boring. It is hard to read. It is about 2 a little boy who gets naked. They old man hits the little boy and leaves him alone when the boy is blind. The author has the vocabulary of a 5 year old, but has lots of violence. This is a terrible book that should never be read.

This was such a good book
When I read this I just couldn't put it down and even after I was done reading it the story continued to race through my mind. I only rated this for ages 9+ because it probably would not interest younger kids

People don't look at the good things at this book... Phillip slowly grows to understand the concept and hurtful and mean things that some white men & women were treating African Americans.Its also a good example of a trust bond between the two.

The Cay is a book not for young kids, or immature adults.
This is a very good book, it is almost historical, and very sweet and a good survival story. There are some spots in the story with immature people will find funny and young/unknowing people won't understand, but overall a great story,
