Skellig by David Almond

3.0

Michael is having a hard time adjusting to the broken-down house his family just moved into, and worrying about his baby sister, still unnamed, who is constantly on the brink of death. While exploring the dilapidated garage, he finds a very thin, mysterious man crippled by arthritis. With the help of his home-schooled, Blake-spouting friend Mina, Michael seeks to find out who and what this man is, and prays for the recovery of his tiny sister.
