This book was haunting and intriguing. I liked the way it dealt with the friendship between the main character, a boy and his neighbor friend, a girl. I did find the title character "Skellig" a bit creepy. I couldn't decide just what he was!
from the back of the book: "Told in lyrical prose, Skeelig is a mystery, an adventure, and a family story, in which Michael learns about nature, poetry, and the healing power of love."
