It is about a young boy named Phillip Enright. Who got lost in voodoo island of Portugal. Many people died because of portuguese people.... He fought back with the cruel Portuguese people and killed them all

Answer:

The Cay is the suspenseful story of a young boy, handicapped by blindness and thrust into an unfamiliar environment, who is forced to grow up quickly.

Young readers can identify with Phillip's struggle for independence and his frustration in coping with situations over which he has virtually no control.

Phillip's survival depends upon his learning to follow Timothy's instructions and to respect the power of nature. He jeopardizes his life each time he forgets past lessons, but those lapses-whether from carelessness, fear, or despair- make Phillipa very believable character.

The Cay illustrates Phillip's progress toward an ideal of tolerance, chronicling the course of events that gradually leads him to shed his prejudice.
