Title: A beautiful fantasy -- you won't want it to end
Product review: As a young-adult writer, I read many books for this age group. Often, they tend to be formulaic. Not Skellig! From the moment Michael discovers the strange creature -- man, bird, or angel? -- in his parents' garage, I was taken in. You will be too, whether you're a child or an adult. Almond's attention to detail (Would an other-worldly being eat chinese food?) is what gets you. But what holds you are Michael's "real world" problems, his baby sister's illness, his family's move, the fact that his old friends, Leakey and Coot, think his new friend, Mina, strange. I was unable to put this book down until I found the resolution. I'll be buying a copy for my 10-year-old nephew, but I recommend it for both kids and adults.
