The Cay

11-year-old Phillip Enright and his mother had just boarded a ship to Virginia, because it was unsafe to stay in Curacao with the German submarines surrounding the area. The ship gets torpedoed and Phillip is stranded at sea with an old black man named Timothy and a cat named Stew Cat. At sea he gets blinded and eventually they get stranded on a cay and have to survive there until help comes.

This book is a little violent and tense, but it isn’t really bad. There is some weird rituals in it, but the author didn’t get into very much.
