This story is about a young boy called Michael who was looking forward to moving house, but his baby sister falls ill and he feels helpless. Michael's life changes forever when he finds a strange creature in his garage and he confides in his new friend Mina. This book has a very interesting storyline where issues such as death, life, friendship and love are examined carefully.

Comments and Reflections

When I first saw the book I was not sure what it was going to be about, although I did think that Skellig was possibly an alien or creature. I had heard positive comments about the book so I was looking forward to reading it.

I do not remember ever reading a book quite like this one before. I think it is different as it puts you into another world but at the same time deals with a lot...
