Skink--No Surrender

I needed this. At a time when I haven't felt well (physically) and needed to spend some down time, Carl Hiaasen is the perfect prescription. His books, and Christopher Moore's, have long been my "guilty pleasures." I can't get enough of them and Hiaasen's snarky satire and poetic justice always does me some good.

I'm thrilled that he's written one now for teenagers and hope he continues to write more. And let's be honest, Skink is the best.

from the publisher: Classic Malley—to avoid being shipped off to boarding school, she takes off with some guy she met online. Poor Richard—he knows his cousin’s in trouble before she does. Wild Skink—he’s a ragged, one-eyed ex-governor of Florida, and enough of a renegade to think he can track Malley down. With Richard riding shotgun, the unlikely pair scour the state, undaunted by blinding storms, crazed pigs, flying bullets, and giant gators. 

Carl Hiaasen first introduced readers to Skink more than twenty-five years ago in Double Whammy, and he quickly became Hiaasen’s most iconic and beloved character, appearing in six novels to date. Both teens and adults will be thrilled to catch sight of the elusive “captain” as he finds hilariously satisfying ways to stop internet predators, turtle-egg poachers, and lowlife litterbugs in their tracks. With Skink at the wheel, the search for a missing girl is both nail-bitingly tense and laugh-out-loud funny.
