A beautiful children's fantasy novel. A gentle, open and honest exploration of a young boy's conflicting feelings regarding his deathly-ill baby sister, his parents, and his friends.
Almond deftly refrains from answering every question (e.g., the exact nature of Skellig) or tediously driving home every symbolism, leaving room for delightful contemplation.
Superb writing throughout. The last paragraph of Chapter Two, in all it's starkness, is absolutely heart-wrenching. The initial discovery of Skellig was heart-pounding, and the closing chapters heart-lifting. I won't soon forget "27 and 53"!
Themes of forgiveness, family love and loyalty, and non-judgmental acceptance of those who don't fit into society's mold.
