Apart from that can't complain Review: How did I live without this book? Breathtakingly beautiful. - “They say that shoulder blades are where your wings were, when you were an angel..They say they’re where your wings will grow again one day.” “The kind of thing William Blake saw. He said we were surrounded by angels and spirits. We must just open our eyes a little wider, look a little harder.” When I read a book like this I wonder how I ever lived without it. And I wonder what books are out there that I might be missing. I am searching for wisdom, a bit of magic and a sense of something other worldly in literature that feeds the soul in a broken world. I finished it in a day. It is is utterly deserving of being a classic. Michael and his family have moved home. His baby sister arrived prematurely and is very ill. There are frequent visits from the doctor, hospital appointments and his parents are too distracted to work on the house or to support Michael. The garage is out of bounds, but in his explorations Michael finds an old man there. He is thin, eating insects and calling out numbers. He is Skellig. Michael meets Mina who is being home educated, quotes William Blake, draws incredible pictures and is fascinated by nature. There is so much beauty in this book, so much humanity. The baby occupies our mind from the beginning. Tiny, fragile, hovering between life and death. “ Sometimes I think she’s never quite left Heaven and never quite made it all the way here to Earth. And Michael is hovering too, unable to get on with his life, worrying about his sister. He feels her heartbeat entwined with his own. Skellig is hovering too. Who is he, what is he and what are the protrusions on his shoulder blades. This is a book that you don’t stop reading. It takes up room in your head and is unlikely to vacate. I am left pondering the wings, the owls..and I have picked up William Blake again. I think I need to read Skellig again…I think it has more to say to me. If you haven’t read this beautiful book, do. ## Features - Binding : paperback - Pages : 176 - Publisher : Hodder Children's Books ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #3,766 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #98 in Children's Books on Emotions & Feelings #203 in Children's Books on Friendship #207 in Fantasy for Children | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 1,540 Reviews | ## Images ![Skellig - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81vfjT+VklL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Reasonable price *by T***T on 20 September 2022* The book fell apart in the sun...thats Dubai heat though, I suppose.
