About the Book

Carl Hiaasen serves up his unique brand of swamp justice in the "New York Times" bestseller" Skink No Surrender." A National Book Award Longlist Selection "" When your cousin goes missing under suspicious circumstances, who do you call? There s only one man for the job: a half-crazed, half-feral, one-eyed ex-governor named Skink. Skink joins 14-year-old Richard on a breakneck chase across Florida, undaunted by lightning storms, poisonous snakes, flying bullets, and giant gators. There are a million places cousin Malley could be, a million unpleasant fates that might have befallen her, but one thing is certain: in the Florida swamp, justice is best served wild. SUNSHINE STATE AWARD FINALIST! "From the Hardcover edition.""

Review :
"The book itself is just a wonder, part love poem about the Florida wilds, part road-trip novel, and part thriller. The second half of the book is a nail-biter to rival"Cape Fear." I love Hiaasen for adults. I love Hiaasen for kids. But most of all, I love"this"Hiaasen, which brings the two writers together in one book." --Cory Doctorow "Skink and Richard make quite a dangerous and entertaining duo in a story that careens perfectly from one crazy situation to the next. Reluctant readers (especially guys) will surrender themselves to this page turner. Cross your fingers that we haven t seen the last of Skink!" -- "Booklist, " starred "If you were pursuing your cousin s kidnapper across Florida, you would want a man like Skink at your side. Maybe." -- "Kirkus Reviews" "Skink is larger than life.... A presence to be reckoned with." -- "The Horn Book" "A high stakes, action-packed comedy with a lot of heart." "VOYA" "From the Hardcover edition.""
