Title: Skellig: for kids?
Product review: I'm glad I read this book before giving it to my 12 year old son. I found it to be unnecessarily grim and depressing. Until the very end, Michael's life circumstances seem hopeless. In addition, I thought it a little far fetched that a young girl would think of a half dead, insect eating, somewhat grotesque man-bird as an "extrordinary creature." This is not a story I enjoyed, rather I endured it. Why read something like this when there are so many other wonderful books out there for kids? I did not recommend it to my son, and I wouldn't for yours.
