Skellig. Almond D.

David Almond writes simply. Simple, but about the most difficult. About the issues that will take a soul when a person is ten to twelve years old, and adults do not know the answer: is it true that our shoulder blades were once wings? Can clay figures come to life if you try and blind them very well? Does love help from diseases? Almond writes that it is read by children and adults around the world - his books are translated into more than two dozen languages. In 2010, he became the laureate of the Andersen Award - the highest award in the world of children's literature. And all his awards cannot be counted. The book "Skellig", written in 1998, received the Medal of Carnegie and the Utbredovsky Prize. In 2008, the film of the same name with Tim Roth was released in the title role.

... When Michael found him, everything was bad. The new house turned out to be nightmare, a little sister was born a sick, mom cried, dad was angry. And in the old garage, where they were ordered never to go, he discovered - Skellig. The only one of a kind, terrible, impossible, beautiful - like life itself. And he was much worse than Michael. But life is a very strange thing. Sometimes a miracle is very close, and you just need to listen so that it happened to you.
