Awkward preteen Michael isn't happy when his parents move into a fixer-upper in the country. In a crumbling cottage, Michael finds the odd and ill Skellig but, as Michael helps him, they forge a friendship. This comes in handy as Michael also sees that Skellig has healing powers (as well as unexplained wings), which are needed when Michael's sister is born with critical medical problems. Based on the children's novel by David Almond.
