When a move to a new house coincides with his baby sister\u2019s illness, Michael\u2019s world seems suddenly lonely and uncertain.<\/p>\n
Then, one Sunday afternoon, he stumbles into the old, ramshackle garage of his new home, and finds something magical. A strange creature \u2013 part owl, part angel, a being who needs Michael\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n
But Skellig is far more than he at first appears, and as he helps Michael breathe life into his tiny sister, Michael\u2019s world changes for ever . . .<\/p>\n
Skellig<\/i>\u00a0won the Carnegie Medal and the Whitbread Children\u2019s Book Award. David Almond is also winner of the 2010 Hans Christian Andersen award.<\/p>\n
