After Sylvia (2008)

About book After Sylvia (2008)

The second book in the Owen Skye trilogy follows Owen through a series of unfortunate events, which he attributes to the departure of his beloved classmate, Sylvia Tull. Among other things, Owen must endure failing a multiplication test due to his father’s teasing remark that “every year the teachers choose a new multiplication code” (26). Owen also runs for president of his class (and loses by one vote), brings home a stray dog (which he tries to name after Sylvia even though the dog is male), and nearly kills himself while climbing down the drain pipe of his house. However, Owen also achieves some grown-up expertise in this book – he is able to cook an egg, he learns to perfectly imitate a loon call, and he is finally able to talk to Sylvia when she changes, in his mind, from “Sylvia the untouchable” to “Sylvia who [isn’t:] so hard to speak to” (195).
