Description:
Phillip is excited when the Germans invade the small island of Curacao. He doesn't want to leave home to travel with his mother to the United States. War has always been a game to him, and he's eager to glimpse it firsthand -- until the freighter he and his mother are traveling on is torpedoed.
Expand description
When Phillip comes to, he is floating on a small raft on an endless sea of blue. Besides Stew Cat, his only companion is a very old West Indian, Timothy. Phillip remembers his mother's warning about black people: "They are different, and they live differently. That's how it must be".
By the time the castaways arrive on a small island, Phillip's head injury has made him blind and dependent on Timothy. This is the story of their struggle to survive, and of Phillip's efforts to adjust to his blindness and to understand the dignified, wise, and loving old man who is his companion.
