Commentary Toward Books Skellig (Skellig #1)

Well, that was excellent.

This book is a brief mouthful of myth and hope and atmosphere. Reasons to read it?

1. There's a magical, irritable man in the narrator's garage. He likes Chinese take out and dead mice.

2. There is a wise and judgmental girl-neighbor who becomes the narrator's best friend.

3. There is no kissing.

4. There is warming family dynamic: the narrator is afraid his sickly baby sister will die.

5. There are teachers and parents and grown-ups who aren't idiots, assholes, or antagonists.

6. Myth!

7. Myth!

8. Myth!

Recommended.

Evaluation Epithetical Books Skellig (Skellig #1)

Elegant cover,Superb title,and what a story! ♡ Absolutely brilliant. I truly adore this loving, fascinating & quick read book.

This is a beautiful book about the interconnectedness of humans, nature (animals, specifically), and celestial beings. I love the genre of magical realism, and this book falls right into that. The concept is unique, and I really like the main characters, Michael, Mina, and Skellig. The concept sort of reminds me of the chapter in Mary Poppins that deals with Michael and Jane's younger siblings, which puts forth the idea that babies can talk to animals but lose the ability as they get older and

Skellig (Skellig #1), David AlmondSkellig is a children's novel by the British author David Almond, published by Hodder in 1998. 12-year-old Michael and his family have recently moved into a house. He and his parents are nervous, as his new baby sister was born earlier than expected and may not live because of a heart condition. When Michael goes into the garage, he finds a strange emaciated creature hidden amid all the boxes, debris and dead insects. Michael assumes that he is a homeless

This is a remarkable book. Some may think it a childrens book but it is so much more.Never have I read something that is so simple, but with an intense underlying message. To explain the plot would be an evident spoiler, other than to say that the need of everyone is different but leads to an inherent whole from the birds to the people and more, a need for change. Oh and as for Skellig himself ..... Thanks to Sean the bookworm whos review (which is far better than mine) made me buy the book on

Magical, philosophical, touching and sweet. 'So he took his wings and fled:Then the morn blush'd rosy red.'

I audiobook'd this because it was so short I could finish it in less than a week and because I have been on this YAF kick for the last three decades or so. The audio book is read by the author, who has a delightful accent, which greatly enriched my audio book experience. The plot is far from terribly original. Boy's life is in upheaval (new house, new neighborhood, new neighbors, new baby sister). Boy makes new friend. Boy finds something magical, shares with new friend, has enlightening,
