Y is for Yance Milgrim of Skunk Corners
In a nutshell: Yance is no kind of student, but he and his twin brother Hank provide Big Al with a different kind of educational challenge.
Biggest secret: He's really smart. He just isn't good at book-learning, unless he can see what it's used for.
Favorite Line: "We'll have to dig like anything to make your tiger pit in one day."
Yance and his twin Hank are in the Skunk Corners school from the beginning, but they move into more important positions in the stories and the town in books 2 and 3. You'll have to read all the way to The Problem With Peggy to learn why they're digging a tiger pit!
The Ninja Librarian is
a humorous set of tall tales set in the highly fictional gold-country town of
Skunk Corners. It’s the story of a
dusty, tough, unfriendly town that gets a new outlook on life thanks to the
advent of the Ninja Librarian—a mild-mannered librarian who offers his wisdom...with
a little extra when folks don’t listen.

When Big Al wakes up one morning and finds the Ninja Librarian has
left town, everything seems to go wrong.
And just about the time she’s thinking maybe the town can cope after
all, he comes back. After that, it’s
business as usual in Skunk Corners: bad guys, irritated skunks, and crises big
and small that require the Librarian’s unique brand of outside-the-box thinking
and direct action.

The Ninja Librarian’s back in town, school’s out, and all’s right with the
world…or is it? Big Al may be looking forward to spending her time swimming in the
creek and wandering the hills, but Peggy’s looking forward to a life of
drudgery. If Al can’t find a way to sway her pa, the brightest kid in Skunk
Corners is going to take drastic action. With a mystery from the past haunting one of the
houses and creating the biggest threat yet to the town, Big Al’s going to be
kept busy this summer, and not just with practicing her moves for the Ninja
Librarian!

Book three sounds the most interesting to me.

Each book gets a little more (searching for the right word). "Complex" isn't quite it, but it's in the neighborhood. The more I delved into that community, the more interesting I found it to be. :)
DeleteLove Hank & Yance.
ReplyDeleteI like your comment above. It seems the more we think we've developed a world of our own imagination, the more it takes on its own life, with multiple-layers and things we never imagined going on!
I even discovered things about Al that I never guessed. Some of which will never go into a book. Have to respect the girl's privacy :)
