Eleven-year-old Phillip was blinded by flying debris when a torpedo struck the SS <i>Hato, </i>and old Timothy has taught him how to survive. This prequel-sequel tells the rest of their tale in alternating chapters--the compelling story of two very different people who share the courage and tenacity to turn their dreams into reality. <br><b><i>Includes a reader's guide.</i></b><br><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>Timothy's chapters sketch a murky sea of racial prejudice; readers will ache with him at his losses. Phillip's chapters, in a terse first person, depict the narrowness of his mother's world with a clarity heightened by Phillip's blindness. A journey well worth taking.--<i>Kirkus Reviews</i><i><br></i>Superb.--<i>The Bulletin</i><br>
