(3) 4-6 Beset by family troubles (including a crying baby cousin) and the inability to spell, Owen Skye could be miserable--and sometimes he is. In this epistolary novel, Owen's letters to schoolmate Sylvia are funny and poignant. Experience teaches him a lot, and if the mystery of Sylvia's whereabouts is solved a bit too neatly, readers will nevertheless admire Owen's pluck throughout.
