Discover Skellig, a profoundly moving novel by David Almond, winner of the prestigious Carnegie Medal and the Whitbread Children's Book Award. This edition marks the 20th anniversary of its release, celebrating fifteen years of this multi-award-winning story. The narrative unfolds as Michael faces a period of loneliness and uncertainty following a house move and his baby sister's illness. His world takes a fantastical turn when he discovers a mysterious creature in the old garage – a being with owl and angel-like qualities that desperately needs Michael's aid to survive. Alongside his new friend Mina, Michael embarks on a journey to nurture Skellig back to health, all while his sister remains critically ill in the hospital. As Skellig begins to recover, he plays an integral role in Michael's sister's recovery, fundamentally altering Michael's perspective and life. The captivating tale has also been adapted into a major Sky1 feature film, further cementing its status as a significant work. Renowned for its powerful and moving prose, as noted by The Guardian, Skellig is a must-read that continues to resonate with readers. This book is a testament to David Almond's skill, recognized globally as one of the foremost children's authors of our time, and honored with the 2010 Hans Christian Andersen award.
