My favorite book is called ''The Cay'' and is about a boy and a man that are stuck on a deserted island. The boy becomes blind from looking at the sun and makes survival a lot harder. The book is set during WW2 and the genre is survival which is why it's so interesting to me. The boy was skeptical of the man because he was black but when he becomes blind he starts to appreciate the man and makes a strong relationship with him. Later in the book a hurricane hits the island and the man dies so the boy uses the skills that the man taught him to survive on his own. Towards the end of the book a helicopter sees the boy on the island and the boy is saved. One reason why this book is my favorite is because there is something about survival that
