I read this book because of its review in one of Nick Hornby's Believer columns. His high praise and its referencing of William Blake sold me.

It's an imaginative tale, touching and sweet but not saccharine; simply told, but with lots to think about; and suitable for its target audience of ages 8 to 12, but interesting enough for an adult (me) to keep reading and thinking. Plus I learned some new things about owls.

The story reminds me a little bit of something Neil Gaiman might write; but despit...more

I read this because in one of Nick Hornby's Believer columns he mentioned this was supposed to be the best YA book of all time. I don't know where he got this information, maybe from the ALA or some other three letter group. He gave it a glowing review so I thought I'd read it.

I don't know where he got this information, maybe from the ALA or some other three letter group. He gave it a glowing review so I thought I'd read it.

My first thought after reading it was that if it had been an adult novel I would have loved it. As a novel it felt more like a very nice sketch of an interesting and magical story than what I would like from a finished book. Not that there seemed to be anything necessarily missing from the book, it just didn't seem fully flushed out, like there was more he could have done with the book to given it more depth and expanded some of the themes in even more interesting ways. Of course doing so would have made this probably not a YA novel, but rather moved him into the magical-realism worlds of someone like Jonathan Carroll or Nicholas Christopher. But that said I found this really enjoyable, but in a teasing way that made me want more of something that there was no more to have.

The funny thing I found in this book was the author interview at the end. The author is asked about his influences, and he is led in the question to a magical realism answer which he admits to having and cites Marquez, someone whom I have never read, but maybe one day will. But then he answers that his other big influence is Raymond Carver. I find this to be really funny (not that you can't see the Carver in the book, the minimalism of Carver is defintely present in the streamlined no nonsense prose contained within) because I'm imagining some 13 year old who loving this book goes to read the people the author says are good and goes to pick up Carver. This is something I would have done at 13, and still do to this day, I'm a sucker for going after influences of authors I love and expanding the books I will one day need to read in this way. I would love to see the reaction of a 13 year old reading story after story of middle aged losers with dead end jobs getting drunk, chain-smoking and living in the dismal shit of adulthood. What would a young teen make of this? Would it scar them for life? Would they instantly suffer some existential crisis? How would a youngster deal with the harsh reality of Carver's characters? So yeah I found that funny, in an absurd-ish sort of way, but that really has nothing to do with the book which was pretty damned good. (less)

This may not be my favorite book, but I can't say that I didn't enjoy giving up a few hours on a Wednesday night to visit Michael's world.

When I was little and told to say my prayers (by hypocritical lapsed catholics, by the way) I would start by asking that my family be safe (yeah, that didn't work out so well now, did it?) and then hit the trivial things like asking that Jimmy Watts would notice me or maybe my mom could buy me the new Olivia Newton John album? Ah... to be so oblivious.

Michael has just moved into a new house. 'House' being used in the loosest of descriptions. The previous owner wasn't so much into home improvement as he was into slowly dying. The yard is a mess of weeds and there is a toilet in the dining room. The garage is a home to broken appliances, rolls of linoleum, planks, boxes, bugs and something else.

"I thought he was dead. He was sitting with his legs stretched out and his head tipped back against the wall. He was covered in dust and webs like everything else and his face was thin and pale. Dead bluebottles were scattered on his hair and shoulders. I shined the flashlight on his white face and his black suit."

Meet Skellig. Say his name a few times. Notice how your tongue is trapped behind your teeth. Feel the grit. Accentuate the 'guh'. Yeah... now close your eyes and visualize Skellig... decrepit, emaciated, mean, gruff. He's like a bad guy in a fairy tale, right? The guy that you'd cross the street to avoid. And he lives in Michael's garage.

Did I mention that Michael's baby sister is dying? Oh, sorry about that. Michael doesn't like to dwell on that. Instead he makes friend with Mina, a girl who lives down the street who is home-schooled, likes to sing William Blake poems, and draw blackbirds and owls. He plays hookie to help his dad fix up the house. He tries to nurse Skellig by feeding him takeout chinese (27 and 53-nectar of the gods), beer, and cod liver oil. When he does go to school he learns about skeletons and wonders why people have shoulder blades. (They say it where your wings were, when you were an angel, Michael's mom explains, they say they're where your wings will grow again one day.)

Where does all this lead? What do children wish for? What do you do when your baby sister is in the hospital tied to wires and tubes? Do miracles really exist? ' You have to believe in magic' Olivia once crooned. 'If the doors of perception were cleansed everything would appear to man as it is, infinite.' says Blake.

"What are you?" I whispered.
He shrugged again.
"Something," he said. "Something like you, something like a beast, something like a bird, something like an angel." He laughed. "Something like that."
He smiled.

After looking at the length of this book, and reading the synopsis, I thought it was just another run-of-the-mill fantasy story. However, I was amazed at how much story and feeling David Almond was able to discuss in the short duration of the novel. He effortlessly contrasted light and dark, all the time making his characters human and believable. I was especially surprised at his ability to intertwine the poetry of William Blake, as well as some Greek mythology and archaeology, into the realist...more

English young adult book that earned raves from Nick Hornby in Shakespeare Wrote For Money and appeared near the top of a UK survey of the best YA books ever. I thought it was good, but not that great. Michael, who has just moved to a new house and whose baby sister is deathly ill, discovers a weakened winged man in his garage.

My interpretation of Skellig is that he is a more highly evolved version of humans. As Mina says “There’s no end to evolution. We have to be ready to move forward. Maybe this is not how we are meant to be forever.” Skellig still retains a human form, but has characteristics of birds and the healing power of angels.

Maybe this is not how we are meant to be forever.” Skellig still retains a human form, but has characteristics of birds and the healing power of angels. He starts out in a decrepit garage with his wings bound and hidden. He is alone and in great pain. He is removed from these surroundings, shown some love and has his wings unbound. Only then does he begin to feel better. He is taken to Mina’s grandfather’s house which is also quite rundown. Skellig manages to rise to the top floor of the house where there is light and a window. He is being fed not just by Michael and Mina, but the owls too.

Skellig goes where there is a need for healing that goes beyond modern medicine, where the power of hope and love is needed. Michael’s family is in just such a situation as his baby sister is seriously ill. Michael asks Dr. MacNabola “Can love help a person to get better?” At the end of the exchange Michael notes that Dr. MacNabola “smiled properly for the first time”. A similar change is noted in Skellig. Several times early in the book Michael notices that Skellig “laughed but he didn’t smile”. As Skellig regains his strength and powers he begins to really smile again. Early in the book, Michael notes that Dr. Death “didn’t know how to smile”. Later, as the doctor is examining Michael after the sleepwalking incident, Michael explains “Dr. Death tried to smile but his eyes stayed stupid and cold”.

Michael’s mother sees Skellig the night before the baby’s operation and believes she is dreaming. She explains about the man dressed in black who danced with the baby and how the baby had transparent wings. She slept soundly the rest of the night and somehow knew in the morning everything would be alright. It was! Skellig will move onto the next place where he is needed. Michael asks “Where will you go?” Skellig “shrugged, pointed out to the sky. “Somewhere,” he said.

The power of positive thinking seems a bit clichéd, but perhaps that is part of the message that Almond is trying to convey. At the end of the book, the baby is aptly named Joy.

I had mixed feelings about this book. On the one hand I thought it was very scary and suspenseful, almost above the reading level. It had the atmosphere and feeling of an adult horror novel for a lot of it (I kept thinking back to the way I felt when I read Clive Barker's The Hellbound Heart - this feeling of oppression, like there was something lurking rightthere). On the other hand, the plot (or lack thereof) was overly simplistic and had very little movement. The conflict was there in that Mi...more

I think this is the first book this semester that I have had a dream about. The night I finished reading this book I had a dream I was in a hospital standing by a baby’s incubator. There were several people standing around, watching the baby. The baby was having a hard time breathing and we were all breathing together, deliberately, carefully as if we could breathe for the baby. Then another person came in, who looked like Skellig was described in the novel, and all of a sudden we were all spinning in a circle around the baby. It was strange. And a little freaky.
In addition to prompting a dream, this book almost made me cry. When Michael thought his baby sister had died, I could almost feel his panic and terror. If I hadn’t been sitting in the public library, I probably would have cried.
One thing that bothered me was that I could never really figure out Michael’s age. At many points he seemed pretty young, about eight or nine years old. At other points, he seemed to be more like 12 or 13.
At first, I thought Dr. Death was really the name of the doctor who came to see the baby. It ended up being evidence of Michael’s profound sensitivity to other people and his imagination. This shows up over and over in his treatment of Skellig – his willingness to bring “27 and 53,” beer, aspirin and other things to Skellig. Michael’s sensitivity is also evident in his interactions with Mina and his thoughts of the baby and his idea of keeping her heart beating inside of him.
Towards the end, when Michael was staying at Mina’s house waiting for his father to come home from the hospital, I wished this was a picture book. The descriptions of the pictures Michael drew were wonderful, but I would have loved to have seen them. (Actually, that would be a great project – for students to reproduce one of those pictures. p. 136)
It seemed like Skellig was ashamed of what he was. I couldn’t really figure that out. It was obvious he wasn’t human, yet Mina and Michael talked about him as being beautiful. I kept asking myself if he was an angel, but that didn’t really seem to fit either with the whole owl pellets thing.
