by Annabel Jankel

synopsis

When the move to a new house coincides with his baby sister's falling ill, Michael's existence suddenly becomes lonely and uncertain. One afternoon, the boy comes across an old shed half-hidden at the end of the garden, and discovers something that will change his life forever: Skellig, a crumpled creature half-angel, half-owl. With the help of his new friend Mina, who helps him look at things in a new light, Michael helps Skellig get back on his feet.
