Well, that was excellent.
This book is a brief mouthful of myth and hope and atmosphere. Reasons to read it?
1. There's a magical, irritable man in the narrator's garage. He likes Chinese take out and dead mice.
2. There is a wise and judgmental girl-neighbor who becomes the narrator's best friend.
3. There is no kissing.
4. There is warming family dynamic: the narrator is afraid his sickly baby sister will die.
5. There are teachers and parents and grown-ups who aren't idiots, assholes, or antagonists.
6. Myth!
7. Myth!
8. Myth!

I don't think I can read a book with no kissing...
You summed up my reasons for liking this book
I concur; Skellig is quietly fantastic and deserves all praise!
I studied this book in year 7 or 8 English and absolutely adored it <3
I'm reading this book for English
Guys , im a new memeber here , how i can read something ? i dont get it . pls. reply
>>pamala swan>>> im newer too..but is your account on a kindle or computer? i also have a friend who is an expert on good reads so ill talk o her and get back with ya on your question. book looks really coo:)
how we can read something here? anyone who can explain it?
Tap on the book. It will have a green box that says "want to read"
You can't actually read a book on ŷ. It's a review site. To read a book, you have to order it from a bookshop or an online book order site.
I love reading. Never read an Almond book though. Is it that good I should read it? Please reply ASAP. I need to know!
yes, he is wonderful
Oh my GOD I've been TRYING TO REMEMBER THE NAME OF THIS BOOK FOR YEARS! My 7th grade class did a novel study on it years and years ago! All I could remember was Icarus and dead mice 🤦🏻♀�
yes, i love how Almond set out Skellig as a...interesting character form, Mina is a verry love-able smart girl, no kissing is good because having to explain that in words is weird... the family dynamic adds something to the story that just makes it more enjoyable is that the narrator cares about not just the adventures he's in but also about his family, i find it nice that there are adults that are down to earth, not like ones in other books or movies like horror or... other...things...
how to write an excellent review 👆(and books 🤫 - though I wouldn't mind nr 3 being ignored when it fits 👉🏻👈🏻 )
Bro what about all of the grammer mistakes
