Skellig by David Almond review








Skellig                
Ten-year-old Michael was looking forward to moving into a new house. But now his baby sister is ill, his parents are frantic, and Doctor Death has come to call. Michael feels helpless. Then he steps into the crumbling garage. . . . What is this thing beneath the spiderwebs and dead flies? A human being, or a strange kind of beast never before seen? The only person Michael can confide in is his new friend, Mina. Together they carry the creature out into the light, and Michael's world changes forever...

What to say about this book, that is  a very good question. It feels like one of those books that are just releaxing to read and get stucked into a world of imagination. Michael moves into a new house and in the garage there is a creature living in there. That's the whole mystery of the book. Michael meets Mina a girl who has a relationship with the creature. It's a good book but it feels like there needs to be something more. The book's too small. There is a prequel to the book which I will read sometime.

3.5/5
