David Almond does it again. He gently reminds you of the magic that is existence. Through the eyes of Michael we are reintroduced to the connectedness of all living things. His friend Mina sings Blake poetry and shows Michael how to listen more closely to the fabric of life. (I want to return to the days of youth and truly have a day of exploration.)
Skellig could be human, angel or animal--but more than anything he represents the possibilities of the imagination and the beauty of love. This is the book that announced David Almond to the world and I hope that you find the time to marvel at its wonders. Peace!
