"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

Reseña del editor:

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!
