My name is Mina

David Almond writes simply. Simple, but about the most difficult. About the issues that will take a soul when a person is ten to twelve years old, and adults do not know the answer: is it true that our shoulder blades were once wings? Can clay figures come to life if you try and blind them very well? Does love help from diseases? Almond writes so that it is read by children and adults around the world - his books are translated into more than two dozen languages. In 2010, he became the laureate of the Andersen Award - the highest award in the world of children"s literature. And all his awards cannot be counted. The Book "Skellig , written in 1998, received the Carnegie medal and the Whitredov Prize. In 2008, the film of the same name with Tim Roth in the title role was released.
The story "My name is Mina" precedes the events that will unfold in the Skelig.
... Mina did not have friends, she was considered strange. There was no father, he died. But she had a mother - the best, everything that understands her mother - and the whole world in her head. Because the head is a place for miracles. But how to find the one with whom you can share them?
