Emphasis on Imagination
Skye is known for novels that emphasize the power of imagination and importance of discovering the impossible in the mundane. Even the Obert Skye pen name, which is used to further "research" on the world of Foo in Leven Thumps and the existence of dragons in Pillage, is “all about imagination” and “thinking bigger and beyond the books.”[4] Imagination is one of the most powerful things in the world, according to Skye. “What doesn’t it make better?” he asks. “It makes school better; it makes problems better. Imagination makes life more textured; it’s a vehicle that opens your mind to the impossible.”[5]
Childhood and Education
Skye attended school in parts of the United States and parts of Europe. He has written commercials, screenplays, and novels. He has traveled to all fifty states talking with schools and libraries and any cluster of people who are kind enough to listen about writing and imagination.
