I cried at Skellig, I laughed at Skellig, I started reading it and I didn't put it down until every page was turned and read. When I finished it I did a great big sigh. I felt like the cat with the cream. This one is still going to be read by my grandchildren and their children too.
Alan Garner's [[The Owl Service]] is another magical book for the early teens. You might also try [[Fledgling by Lucy Hope]]
