Description
Typical 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 25 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 pursues his own unique brand of swamp justice.
With Skink at the wheel, the search for a missing girl is both nail-bitingly tense and laugh-out-loud funny.

Skink No Surrender is praised for its engaging, fast-paced narrative and memorable characters, infused with Hiaasen's characteristic humour and moral outrage. Critics commend its clever plotting and biting satire, with an undercurrent of criticism of modern civilisation's follies. Readers appreciate the blend of entertainment with a powerful message about the impact individuals can have.
