 SKELLIG
- By David Almond
When a move to a new house
coincides with his baby sister's illness, Michael's world seems
suddenly lonely and uncertain. Then, one Sunday afternoon, he
stumbles into the old, ramshackle garage of his new home, and
finds something magical. A strange creature - part owl, part
angel, a being who needs Michael's help if he is to survive.
With his new friend Mina, Michael nourishes Skellig back to
health, while his baby sister languishes in the hospital. But
Skellig is far more than he at first appears, and as he helps
Michael breathe life into his tiny sister, Michael's world
changes for ever.
Skellig won the Carnegie Medal
and the Whitbread Children's Book Award and is now a feature
film, starring Tim Roth and John Simm. David Almond is also
winner of the 2010 Hans Christian Andersen award.
