Skellig by David Almond

3.0

Michael just moved from his home. His baby sister is sick and his new house looks like a ruin.
Unhappy, he goes to his garage that he's been forbidden to go to and discovers a man. Or is it a man? Michael doesn't have an answer to that but he does know that whatever is hiding in there is terribly sick and needs help.
Then, he meets this strange girl called Mina, with whom he quickly becomes friends. Sharing his secret with her, they decide together to help and save the creature in Michael's garage.

A touching story I'm happy to have read.
