Description:
<p><strong>Nominated for the Canadian Library Association Book of the Year for Children Award and the TD Children's Literature Award</strong></p>
<p>As the new school year unfolds, the magic of the Skye brothers' antic adventures is replaced by a different kind of magic — of stillness, when Owen visits the haunted house in the dead of winter, and of insight, as he begins to see his father in a new light. Owen is growing up, but happily for readers, he never loses his most endearing qualities — his sweet vulnerability, his impulsive courage, and his imagination as big as the sky. </p>
<p><em>The Secret Life of Owen Skye</em> was a smash hit with readers, reviewers and award juries. In <em>After Sylvia</em>, Alan Cumyn has produced a captivating sequel that captures perfectly the bewilderment and joy of being a kid. A funny, poignant, magical book that will delight a broad range of readers.</p>
