Skink, No Surrender / Carl Hiaasen / 281 pages

Wow!  This is classic Hiaasen!  We have young people who do the right thing, at the right time, for the right reasons...Heroes, if you will.  We also have young people who do not...who, in fact, almost ruin their lives by making foolhardy decisions.  We also have a most unorthodox grown up - The Governor.  Richard is determined to rescue his cousin Malley, and Skink(The Governor) is an invaluable resource - even if he is a crazy old man...with lots of friends.  This is a riveting journey through a Florida most of us will never see, a testament to ecology, and a portrayal of a maverick's determination to do what is right...also a cautionary tale against meeting up with strangers online.
