In 'Skellig'by David Almond a young boy named Micheal finds a mysterious man like creature living in his garage. In the midst of a turbulent life (moving house, having a sick baby sister, losing old friends, finding new ones) Micheal becomes increasingly obsessed and upset by the fate of this creature. With the help of a new friend, Mina, interesting to the young reader as she is home schooled, they move the creature to a place of safety and discover that he has wings. The book is deliberatly ambiguous about the nature of the creature. Although the obvious implication is that he is some kind of angel, his general demeanour and attitude is in direct contrast to traditional ideas about angels, leading the reader to consider ideas around religious imagery and the role of mystery in life.
