![]() ![]() Initially I lacked confidence whether this would be a book I would enjoy but I was happily proven wrong. I have heard Skellig mentioned in the past a number of times and on these occasions the feedback has always been positive. Providing a great opening in the classroom to have discussions about the questions they have such as, where did Skellig come from? who is Skellig? what happened to Michael’s baby sister? Did Mina & Michael stay friends? The ending I felt worked well as it left the reader with more questions and curiosity, it was interesting to find out there are still questions the author has about the story. I enjoyed the perspective of the story being told by Michael as you got a real sense of his emotions throughout the story especially dealing with his baby sister being poorly, family and friend relationships and his discovery of Skellig. The structure of the writing gave the story a fast pace to it with the short and quick sentences which in turn-built suspense throughout the story. ![]() ![]() I really enjoyed the style of writing David Almond used in the story theĭescriptive writing really helped the reader to engage in the story, the detail used for the description of Skellig was intriguing. ![]()
