I was so lost in the story that when I was reading, I couldn’t hear anybody talking to me. I was fully submerged in every page. I was 10 when I checked this book out and now my daughter is 10 years old and I bought her a copy. I’m really hoping she enjoys it as much as I did. It’s an amazing storyline in every school library should have a copy!!!! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A superb symphony *by J***S on February 20, 2009* I recently reviewed another book, The Reading Group Handbook: Everything You Need to Know to Start Your Own Book Club, written by Rachel W. Jacobsohn. One way to read a book is to look for design, "an interweaving of theme, images, symbols" (131) which work together to create a superb symphony of words and ideas in story form."Skellig" is most definitely like that. Every character, every line, every nuance are part of a totality, a symphony, if you will, of great depth, of transcendent mysticism. The word "skellig" is an Irish word which means rock and is the name of one of the most famous monasteries in the world: Skellig Michael off the coast of Kerry, Ireland. It was renowned in the medieval period because of its rugged, stormy living conditions and the endurance of its monks.The poetry, the mysticism of William Blake are part of the story. Looking for angels. Feeling shoulder blades for wings. Bird bones. Evolution. A very sick baby that may or may not live. The being who lives in a sustained state behind the tea chests and other junk in the garage, who may or may not be an angel. Or a bird.Michael and his parents and their very sick baby move into a house that needs much work. In exploring, Michael finds the being whose name is Skellig. He eats bugs and small animals and Chinese take-out. He is beautiful. Michael meets a girl, a year younger, who is home-schooled and reads Blake and draws birds. Her name is Mina (Wilhemina=William). She teaches Michael how to listen deeply to the sounds of baby birds in their nests. He teaches her how to blow owl sounds using his hands. Together they form a wondrous bond with Skellig.If I have conveyed just a hint of the wonder and magic of this incredible novel, then I have succeeded. What David Almond recreated in this *Honor novel is that openness of our child-like state to things beyond the mundane, the earth-bound, to magic and mysticism and otherworldliness where angels may leap to earth and its bindedness to tend to matters.*Note: "Skellig" was named an honor book by the Michael L. Printz Award for Excellence in Young Adult Literature in 2000, when Monster) by Walter Dean Meyers won the medal. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Meaningful story and beautiful sketches *by W***7 on April 30, 2025* I love the combination of sketches and story. ## Frequently Bought Together - Skellig - Where the Red Fern Grows - The Witch of Blackbird Pond: A Newbery Award Winner --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pl/products/85671496-skellig-mass-market-paperback-september-11-2001](https://www.desertcart.pl/products/85671496-skellig-mass-market-paperback-september-11-2001) --- *Product available on Desertcart Poland* *Store origin: PL* *Last updated: 2026-05-26*
