Team Zoltan writes the following about Skellig :
My team gave this book four stars. We gave this book four stars because we recommend this book for primary teachers who are looking for a book to read to their students. Skellig is a four star book because the book is adventurous and mysterious with suspension, but at the same it can be boring and out there. Some parts of the book are a little too weird and out there and random. In order to get excitement and humor out of this book, you have to read it with a lot of enthusiasm. The main character, Michael, is a little irritating because he?s self-concentrated on himself. His two friends? names are Leakey and Coot, which are pretty weird too. Who names their kids Leakey or Coot? Mina is also weird and a little irritating. She annoys many of my classmates, as well as me. Also, if I found Skellig in my garage I would have dragged him out to the middle of the street, not become best friends with him. What we liked about the book ?Skellig? was it had good suspense that leaves you on the edge of your chair for some time and if you read the book with enthusiasm you will laugh at some parts of the book. Also, you will like this book if you like mystery stories because this story is mysterious and mischievous.
