Skellig is a sweet, earnest tale of love, discovery and mystery. Michael's baby sister is very sick, he has discovered a stranger in the garage of his family's new home and he has a new friend. I'm not sure what else to really write without giving the tale away.
Suffice it to say that Skellig was a good book. There are a few instances of the word "hell", as in the curse, not the location. When it comes to swearing in youth/teen fiction I'm of the context and usage frame of mind. I had no problem with Skellig. My eight year old has started the book and I'm curious to hear his opinion of the tale.
Favorite Quote:
Mina: " ' Sometimes we think we should be able to know everything. But we can't. We have to allow ourselves to see what there is to see, and we have to imagine.' "
Overall Opinion:
I think it's a book list book for 3rd and 4th graders.
