Skellig

by David Almond

Grade: Good

Very interesting little book. The author is Catholic, or was, and it shows up (although not obviously). However, it seems to be a bit of cultural Catholicism, as opposed to orthodox, as Almond mentions at the end, "Catholic children are often told that they once were angels, and that they might become angels again." I mean, what?
Skellig himself was an awsome character, and so was Mina.
