Silvey's second novel Jasper Jones was completed in early 2008 with the aid of an Australia Council's New Work Grant.

Jasper Jones is Silvey's most successful novel, selling well (half a million copies), and having won or been short listed for several prominent literary awards. A film adaptation of the novel, based on a screenplay written by Silvey and Shaun Grant, was released in 2017. The film was directed by Rachel Perkins and stars Toni Collette, Levi Miller, Aaron McGrath, and Angourie Rice.
