Part mystery, part fantasy, Almond's story is made all the more memorable by his easygoing delivery and distinctive accent. As Michael and his new neighbor Mina spend time with Skellig, they learn about the transforming power of caring and love as they tend to Skellig's infirmities and cater to his fondness for Chinese takeout. It's hard to say whether the creature, which eventually introduces itself as Skellig, is a man, an angel or a ghost. But when he explores the house's crumbling garage, he discovers a frail creature with wings who becomes a most magical friend. While his parents are consumed with worry about the baby, Michael is left alone with his own fears. Price New from Used from Kindle 'Please retry' 6.99 Audible Audiobook, Unabridged 'Please retry' 0.
