Review
Richard, a fourteen year old boy, is out to save his best friend and cousin, Malley. She is the same age as Richard and has run off with a twenty six year old man she met on the Internet. Skink comes to their rescue. He is a seventy two year old former governor of Florida who lives off the grid and is quite eccentric to say the least. Skink knows the Florida wilds where Malley has been taken. He also knows how to deal with dangerous characters. The plot moves quickly with much laugh out loud humor. I highly recommend this for older readers.
Overall Book Score: excellent
