 Obert Skye:
Loves dragons
Was born a few years ago in a town about the size that you live in
Tried to publish Leven Thumps first as NonFiction
Was born during a storm in the backseat of a taxi
Is tall but not towering
Is persistent but not perfect
Has read a book upside down
Was born in the middle of the week during an average-length year
Is the middle child in a family with an odd number of children
Is interested in falling from great heights, devouring books, and fighting for Foo
Likes the beach
Lives in the United States in a place colder than he would prefer

Obert Skye

Was raised in the mystery section of the public library
Is not an only child
Grew up with a dog named Fred
Has traveled the world by boat, train, plane, and large box
Lives in a house with a slanted roof and a wooden front door
Grew up in varied temperatures
Used to be allergic to cinnamon
Has not swum the English Channel
Has not boxed a kangaroo
Was last seen, pencil in hand, standing above the mismatched intersection of Twelfth and Pine streets
And his favorite color is green.
