Timothy of the Cay by Theodore Taylor (161 pages)
If you have read The Cay, you will enjoy this sequel. Phillip, now blind and rescued from the island, returns home to Curacao with many stories to tell of his beloved friend Timothy. Phillip matured by living alone on that island for so many days and he finds it very difficult to adjust to life without sight and with his parents. They meet with many surgeons before finding one who agrees to attempt to repair Phillip’s eyesight. Interspersed between the chapters about Phillip, the readers learn about Timothy’s life from his early days with Aunt Hannah up until the days he spent with Phillip on the island. Recommended for fans of the original!
