INTERMEDIATE FICTION
Almond, David

Skellig

(2) 4-6 Michael stumbles upon a stranger in his yard. He brings the stranger food and later glimpses wings growing from the man's shoulders. After Michael's newborn sister survives a serious illness, the stranger departs. Leaving mysteries just beyond our grasp, Almond gives readers something singular to reach for. This tenth-anniversary edition includes an author's note and a short appended story.
