(2) 4-6 Mina, a secondary character in Skellig, gets her own story. In a journal, the nine-year-old homeschooler relates, in nonlinear fashion, recent events in her life. Her creativity is showcased as the narrative frequently wanders into poetry and philosophy. Almond's hypnotic prose and ethereal connection between the mundane and magical triumph in this character study of a fiercely intelligent, fiercely independent girl.
