Customer Reviews

Yours Truly, Skye O' Shea

Yours Truly, Skye O' Shea is great book. Megan Shull writes so great that everyone can relate to it. With the funny parts and the sad you can find yourself feeling like Skye. Skye has the same personality as me. Funny, loves hockey and wants to be great. I would do the same thing as her when she tries out for the hockey team, be the first out to show everyone, I'm serious. I would not want sisters like her though. I would want nice sisters that actually care about what happens to me. But I'm luckier the Skye because my parents are always there for me. I think everyone should read this book because like I said, you can relate to how she is feeling. At some point in your life you've done the same thing or felt the same way. If you ever get a chance to read, you should. You'll never be able to put it down once you start!

Sixth Grade Blue Skye

Shortly after Skye enters middle school, she feels overwhelmed by her homework, her first crush, and her afterschool sports. Skye worries that she'll never be as skilled or as smart as her older sisters, twins Shannon and Shelby. At home, they always make Skye feel as though it's two against one. On the ice, all three girls excel at hockey. Even after Skye makes the big team, she thinks she has push herself even more in order to prove her worth. Yours Truly, Skye O'Shea is just the beginning. Make sure that you read Skye's the Limit next and find out what happens when Skye goes to an outdoor summer camp. After you read these books, I bet that you, like me, will be wishing there were more Skye stories!

Skye Rocks!

I'm All most done reading it but so far its Alsome! I can tell Skye and I have a lot in common she is really cool I recommed this book for ages: 10 and over and I recommed it for anyone!

My 10 yr old won't put it down

My 10 yr old daughter is reading this book currently and is almost done. She can not put it down. I purchased this book as a birthday party gift for her & her 3 friends (at the American Girl Store book signing on June 26th). Her friend said (while reading the book in the car on the way home) "You guys, this is the best book ever - you need to read it!!" Great gift idea for any girl.

'scuse me while I kiss THIS Skye

I thuroughly enjoyed Megan Shull's first book, Yours Truly Skye O'Shea. As an 11-year-old, Skye is very much like I was then: an Ithacan, hockey-playing, boy-anxious, pre-teen. The book is fast-paced and the plot never stops moving. This turned out to be a problem for me because I forfeited my homework to keep reading "just another page". You learn to love Skye O'Shea and the ups and downs of her life take you for a ride; you're there cheering when she shoots the winning goal and your heart breaks when hers does. This book gives you an undeniably happy feeling that you should cherish...until you pounce on the second one!
