Skellig by David AlmondIn the book, a young boy named Michael, aged 10, finds a mysterious man-like creature living in the garage of his new house that Michael wants to know if he is an angel, a bird, or a man. In the midst of a turbulent life (moving, having a sick baby sister, losing old friends) Michael becomes increasingly obsessed and upset by the fate of this creature. Appropriately, the move is one that takes him from Random Road to Falconer Road. In other words, he has moved from the chaos of youthful bliss and ignorance into a new world of adulthood, which brings order and structure to his life. With the help of a new friend, Mina, who is home schooled, they move the creature to a place of safety and discover that he has wings. From: Wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skellig
