Skink--No Surrender

(2) YA Teen narrator Richard's cousin and best friend, Malley, runs away from home because she doesn't want to go to boarding school. When Richard tells Skink (who has starred in half a dozen of Hiaasen's adult novels), the former governor takes off to rescue Malley, and Richard joins him on an event-filled road trip. Richard's naiveté plays nicely against Skink's extremism.
