The Cay is a coming of age book, but it is, more importantly about implicit racial bias and the importance of judging people by their moral center not their outward appearance. My sons read this in high school and it clearly had a positive effect on them.
I'm so glad I finally read The Sherwood Ring! I love a well written children's book, and this one had a little of all the best things--adventure, romance, military intrigue... so much fun!

ReplyDeleteI'm always pleased to fit in something by Lucy Maud Montgomery. Jane of Lantern Hill is a delightful read.
ReplyDeleteI read Anne of Green Gables for the first time! I love the movie, and it was interesting to see some of the minor differences in the book.
