In this book the main character is a boy called Michael. Michael has just baught a new house and has a huge surprise when he finds a crippled living being in his new but crumbling 'garage'. He doesn't want to tell anyone about this mysterious man except from the girl across the road called Mina. Together they help the creature get stronger but there is something constantly on Michael's mind. His baby sister When she goes into hospital to have a operation on her heart Michael thinks his whole world will come crumbling down. The mysterious creature who he has learnt to love and care for is going away, he is sure his baby sister is dead and on top.
I think this is a powerful and moving book because you feel like you are right there with Michael. Also I thought Skellig was a mysteryrios but enjoyable book because of the strange man in the falling-down garage.
I think Mina said extraordinary too many times but the overall book was fascinating. I would rate this book 6/10. I do recommend this book to anyone. David Almond is an amazing author and "Skellig" is a gripping story - this book is a alright read.BY THOMAS
