Jeho tvorba, inspirovaná životními zážitky, které se pohybují od klidného ochutnávání sladkostí na skotském ostrově až po dramatické okamžiky, nabízí čtenářům jedinečnou perspektivu. Skye se sice s původní představou o způsobu publikování potýkal, nakonec však našel naplnění v možnosti vyprávět svůj příběh. Jeho práce, jež se věnuje tématům objevování a vyprávění, zkoumá podstatu toho, co znamená sdílet historii prostřednictvím fikce.
Rob se právě vzpamatoval z lapálií, do kterých se dostal kvůli svému poslednímu návštěvníkovi z kumbálu. Urovnal vztahy s rodiči, kamarády, ale hlavně s Janae. Jenže jakmile se klidil Wonkenstein, vyplivl kumbál dalšího hosta. Ten nápadně připomíná Harryho Pottera a Žvejkala z Hvězdných válek a možná má i trochu kouzelnou moc. Bude mu nový kamarád spíš překážet, nebo mu pomůže překonat nečekané nástrahy? A jak Rob dopadne na soutěži ve vaření? Neztrapní se?
Dvanáctiletý Rob se navzdory snaze rodičů odmítá stát vášnivým čtenářem a knihy, které od nich dostane, pravidelně končí v kumbálu. Právě tam totiž Rob odklízí veškerý nepořádek. Když se ale jednoho dne z kumbálu vynoří vtipná malá postavička, která jako by vypadla z těch nenáviděných knih, začne Robův život nabírat nečekané obrátky. S Wonkensteinem ho čekají mnohem bláznivější dobrodružství, než by se na první pohled mohlo zdát. A kdo ví, třeba se nakonec přinutí i ke čtení...
