Color Me Skye

By Gloria G. Adams

Twelve-year-old Skye Schuster's world has turned upside down. Ever since she was four, when her father died while serving in the Army, it's been just Skye and her mom. Skye even wears her dad's military dog tags on a chain around her neck just to keep his memory close.
Then last year her mom married a quiet, distant guy who Skye calls Dim Tim. He doesn't seem to be interested in having a stepdaughter. And that's okay with Skye; she doesn't want a stepfather, either.
But now, a car accident has left her mom in a coma. Which means she and Dim Tim are going to have to figure out how to do all the stuff her mom did. To actually talk to each other. Worst of all, one question is tearing Skye up inside: What if her mom never wakes up?
Told in free verse, with color filled words and sketches, Color Me Skye follows the emotionally charged journey of Dim Tim and Skye as they navigate their new normal. Along the way, Skye discovers a best friend who is funny, feisty, fabulous, and the perfect antidote to Skye's troubles. For ages 9-12.
