The Secret Life of Owen Skye

175 pp. | Groundwood | October, 2002 | Trade ISBN 0-88899-506-7 $$15.95
(3) 4-6 Middle brother Owen joins forces with older Andy and younger Leonard for several adventures in this episodic family story set in the post-WWII era. Some of the outings are typical: Owen's regard for unapproachable Sylvia, a late night tale of Bog Man. Others are more original, such as when Owen's finger is sliced by a garage door. Owen's wry perspective is engaging and believable in a novel that succeeds in combining humor with poignancy.
