Title:  Timothy of the Cay
Author:  Theodore Taylor
Reviewer:   Pat H.  '09
This book is a sequel to The Cay.  After Phillip gets off the island, he begins his journey to regain his sight by having a surgical procedure done.  At the same time the reader learns about Timothy's past , from his boyhood dream of becoming a ship captain to the torpedoing of the S.S. Hato.   Phillip eventually returns to the desert island.  "I'd felt it, tasted it, smelled it, heard it.  I'd seen it through Timothy's eyes. Now I wanted to see it through my own." This quote from the book is very touching to me.
