missingvolume | #98 Skink--No Surrender by Carl Hiaasen

Of all of the characters that Hiaasen has created, Skink will be the best of them. He isn’t the main focus of this novel, that goes to Richard, a teen that decides to rescue his cousin from someone she ran away with. Richard meets Skink the night Malley runs away. Skink decides to help Richard rescue his cousin from the guy she met on the internet. Turns out the loser is stealing a recently dead vet’s identify and that really irritates Skink. Richard learns how to drive from Skink due to an injury he gets trying to help a skunk on their trip. Everything works out in classic Hiaasen fashion but I have to wonder at what point will Skink walk off into the sunset never to seen again.
