Obert Skye is a bestselling American children's writer known for the Leven Thumps series, the Pillage Trilogy.[1] and The Creature from My Closet. He has also written, Witherwood Reform School, and Beyond Foo.
Skye places great emphasis on the imagination in his novels and on 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]
Obert attended school in parts of the United States and parts of Europe. He has written for commercials, screenplays and various 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.
