The Cay
by Theodore Taylor (1969)
set during WWII among the Caribbean Islands, a white boy and an elderly black man are shipwrecked together on a tiny island where the boy learns to respect and love the man... good adventure, survival, coming of age, very well done...
Golden Line: "He said softly 'Young bahss, you 'ave always been my friend.'"
connections: blindness, shipwrecks, Swiss Family Robinson, Call it Courage

Oh, I had forgotten how much I liked this book as a kid. I'll have to check it out again.
