I think this is a powerful and moving book because you feel like you are right there with Michael feeling how hard life is for him. The mysterious creature who he has learnt to love and care for is going away, he is sure his baby sister is dead and on top of all that he has school friends and school work to worry about.

When she goes into hospital to have a possible life or death operation on her heart Michael thinks his whole world has collapsed. Together they help the creature get stronger and stronger, but there is something constantly on Michael's mind. He doesn't want to tell anyone about this mysterious man except from the girl across the road called Mina. Michael has just moved into a new house and has a huge surprise when he finds a crippled living being in his new but crumbling 'garage'. In this book the main character is a boy called Michael.
