Skellig, by David Almond

This is a kids' book. It's about kids and for kids. The little story contained in the slim volume of under 200 pages (counting the large font and the generous spacing) could have been summed up in one page. However, it is really a poem. A moving poem full of imagination and tenderness. So even though I haven't been a kid for a very long time, I was mesmerized by the story, and will recommend it to anyone of any age.
