I rate this book 5 stars for its stellar plot, its intriguing characters and a hint of the supernatural. This book may be suitable for children that are 10 or above, adults or more mature audience. However, some elements of this book may be frightening to young children, such as a ghost-like creature eating live insects and children growing wings and dancing in the air with a supernatural creature. While we never really get to fully understand what Skellig is, we do know that he has supernatural powers and a heart of gold. The most interesting thing about this book is that it that it belongs to a new genre, where reality collides with fiction and where normal life collides with a with a supernatural element. Slowly they come to trust and care for each other and help each other through the most difficult phase of their lives. Where did the name Skellig come from David Almond says, For most of the time I was writing the book, it was called Mr. When Michael moves into a crumbling, old house with an ancient garage that he cannot resist going into, he encounters a mysterious creature named Skellig. This book revolves around a 10-year old boy, Michael.
