Timothy of the Cay

I have read and re-read this story many times. This man sacrifices hugely to ensure the survival of this boy and the boy learns SO much about opening his heart to differences through the man. This is a beautiful story, and the "prequel" called Timothy of the Cay is also a beautiful story.

Love it. Thanks.

I enjoyed both books in the series. The first one best. I do wish he had ended the second in a different way with more detail after he and his father made it back to the Cay and also had him reunited with Stew cat.

I came across this book while substitute teaching in a Junior High reading class. I am always looking for good books for our grandsons and ordered this one for our 11 year old. He likes to read adventure stories about the outdoors. It is full of life lessons and survival skills, as well as friendship and trust and the importance of a never give up attitude. He used this book for a library class assignment and did very well!

Enjoyed this book as well as the first book, The Cay. Some call it a YA book but I say not!
