Skellig by David Almond

Unhappy about his baby sister’s illness and the chaos of moving into a dilapidated old house, Michael retreats to the garage and fins a mysterious stranger who is something like a bird and something like an angel.

Liz says:

“This contemporary fantasy is both an accessible story of friendship and family and a mystical, poetic tale. This is David Almond’s first book and it’s a winner.”
