David Almond writes about children and for children. He simply writes about the most difficult things. About what is so important for a person to understand at the age of ten or twelve, about questions that stir the soul and to which adults do not know the answer: is it true that shoulder blades are needed in order for wings to be attached to them? Can clay figures come to life if you try really hard when you sculpt them? Does love help cure diseases? Almond writes in such a way that he is read by children and adults all over the world - his books have been translated into more than two dozen languages. In 2010, he won the H.H. Andersen Prize, the highest award in the world of children's literature. And all his awards are countless. SKELLIG's book, written in 1998, received the Carnegie Medal and the Whitbread Prize, and a film of the same name starring Tim Roth was released in 2008...When Michael found him, everything was bad. The new house turned out to be a nightmare, my little sister was born sick, mom cried, dad was angry. And then in the old garage, where they were told never to go, he turned up - Skellig. One of a kind, terrible, impossible, beautiful - like life itself. And he had it much worse than Michael. But life is a very strange thing. Sometimes a miracle is very close, and you just need to listen for it to happen to you.
