pickI enjoyed the evolution of Phillip's and Timothy's relationship. I feel that Taylor wanted to combat ingrained racism in writing this book. It was harsh. Phillip's attitude was ugly, but he learned to love Timothy and to realize that Timothy was needed. It is #fakediversity, but there weren't many own voices in the 60s. Thank goodness that is changing. #BBRC @Sarahreadstoomuch @LibrarianRyan
1. The Tagged book is one of my favorite desert island books. An old black man and an entitled young white boy get stranded after a plane crash. This short historical book finds a boy unlearning the prejudices he was taught growing up in order to survive.
2. Bare
3. Honestly, No idea. I have been over and on top of mountains, and below the sea. So who knows.

1. This is one of my favorite MG books. And it stands up to adult age. And the sequel is pretty good as well.
2. Castaway
3. Islands in the Stream (original Dolly Parton and Kenny Rogers version)

Straining to look where he had me pointed, I asked, “Are there any people on it?”
“‘Tis a veree smahl islan‘, outrageous low.”
I repeated, “Are there any people on it?” I thought they could #contact my father and then send for help.
Timothy answered honestly, “No, young bahss. No people. People not be libin‘ on d‘islan‘ dat ‘as no wattah.”
No people. No water. No food. No phones. It was not any better than the raft. In fact, it might be worse.
pickHistorical fiction novel The Cay by Theodore Taylor explores important themes such as racial discrimination in this heartfelt adventure following a young, shipwrecked boy, Phillip. Students will love the Treasure Island-esque atmosphere and teachers plan great lessons that encourage empathy and tolerance in the classroom.

I read this one many moons ago in the 5th grade. All I remember is the cover and that I thought it was ok, even at that point I preferred scary books and fantasy. And yet this is the first book that popped into my head for today's theme. 🤷
💡Inspired by the #ThrowBackReadathon I decided for my #PopsugarReadingChallenge prompt:[A Book 📖 set at Sea🌊] to read this awesomeness from childhood again 🙂
pickYES. THIS BOOK. I believe I read this in 6th grade. Philip (a young white male) becomes stranded on an island and has to learn to co-inhabit with an older man, Timothy, who is black. Philip struggles with prejudices as he and Timothy learn to survive. (Realistic Fiction) #ucflae3414sp17 http://www.readwritethink.org/classroom-resources/lesson-plans/ribbean-island-st...

A teacher read this to us in elementary school and I tracked it down at work recently. I think it will hold up to a reread.
I completely forgot about this book that I read back in middle school. I remember loving it so I was so excited when it came in so quickly from the library. I don't remember specifics, so it will be a fun reread!
pickSo many folks have named others I read over and over in my youth, so I thought I'd share one that hasn't been mentioned yet in my #FunFridayPhoto -- The Cay, by Theodore Taylor. I lost most of my childhood books in one of my mom's moves and have been working on rebuilding a portion of that beloved library :)
