A Review of Skellig by David Almond

Michael has just moved to a new house. His baby sister is ill. Dr. Death keeps coming. One day, Michael is exploring his broken down garage and he finds a mysterious creature. What is it? Is it bird, human or angel?

Skellig is a story of family and friendship. Michael was a very sensitive character and I think when he met Mina it made him see that not everything is what it seems. I find the character of Mina really unique and creative. The book wouldn't work without her. After reading the back of Skellig, I wasn't sure I wanted to read it. I started to read it anyway and discovered that it was actually a great book. It's like that saying, "Never judge a book by its cover."

Skellig was a great read and I would recommend it.
