Description

Michael's world is turned upside down by his baby sister's mysterious illness and the move into a crumbling, ancient house. Seeking solace in the dusty garage, he discovers a creature of myth and wonder – a being that is part-human, part-angel, and part-something else entirely. As Michael forms an unlikely bond with this enigmatic figure, he begins to uncover profound truths about life, death, and the magic that lies hidden in the ordinary. This poignant tale explores themes of hope, healing, and the extraordinary resilience of the human spirit, all told with Almond's signature lyrical prose.
