Timothy of the Cay by Theodore Taylor

This is the sequel to The Cay. It is the story of the guy that was marooned on the ship with the blind boy Phillip. His name is Timothy. It tells about when he was a little boy and tells the story of the present, with Phillip getting ready for surgery that will either kill him or heal his eyes. It is fascinating to have the pieces filled in. I loved both these books. I really like the cat too. Whole Book
