About the Author
Theodore Taylor wrote several award-winning books, including The Cay, which won the Lewis Carroll Shelf Award and was made into a movie. He began his writing career at the age of thirteen and continued on from there--books, articles, scripts--often several projects at once. He passed away in 2006 surrounded by his family, his books, and years of wonderful memories.
