SynopsisMan, bird or angel? Who or what is Skellig? Michael was looking forward to moving into a new house. It was all going to be wonderful. But now his baby sister is ill, his parents are frantic, and Dr. Death has come to call. Michael feels helpless. Then one day 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 seen before?Told in lyrical prose, Skellig is a mystery, an adventure, and a family story, in which Michael learns about nature, poetry, and the healing power of love.
