Reviewed by: Ben
Description: A young boy growing up in the Caribbean becomes stranded on a small island with and old black man and a cat. The Cay is about their struggle for survival and how the boy learns to overcome his prejudice as they work together.
Thoughts: This is a really great book. My lame description might make it seem like every other don't-be-prejudiced young adult book, but there are a few twists that really make it interesting and worthwhile. Also, it's super short so it's great for a quick filler when you don't have time for a longer book. This is definitely one I'll have all of my kids read.
Disclaimer: None.
