When a move to a new house coincides with his baby sister's
illness, Michael's world seems suddenly lonely and uncertain.

Then, one
Sunday afternoon, he stumbles into the old, ramshackle garage of his new home,
and finds something magical. A strange creature - part owl, part angel, a being
who needs Michael's help if he is to survive. With his new friend Mina, Michael
nourishes Skellig back to health, while his baby sister languishes in the
hospital.

But Skellig is far more than he at first appears, and as he
helps Michael breathe life into his tiny sister, Michael's world changes for
ever . . .

Skellig won the Carnegie Medal and the Whitbread
Children's Book Award and is now a major Sky1 feature film, starring Tim Roth
and John Simm. David Almond is also winner of the 2010 Hans Christian Andersen
award.
