Disclaimer: Reading this book may cause crying.
Michael's new baby sister is born right after their family bought and moved in to a run down house they had planned to fix up. The new baby has serious health troubles and Michael and the whole family are concerned about her. During this Michael decides to search the garage and he finds a man with wings that loves chinese food and is so week he can barely move. So, Michael and his new friend, Mina, take care of this man called Skellig.
I thought this book was beautiful. That's all there was to it. I loved the way Michael tried to help his little sister and how Skellig helped all of them. There are so many beautiful images that the author is able to portray in this story, it is a book I would highly recommend.
This is a trailor for the movie.
