Jonah Skidmore lives on River View Road in the book "Found" by Margaret Peterson Haddix.
At the end of the book of Jonah, Jonah retreats from Nineveh and waits for God to destroy it in the shelter of a fast-growing and fast dying vine. Jonah is mad that God doesn't destroy the city, and deeply regrets the death of the vine. God makes that into a parable -- "You regret the death of the vine you didn't plant and didn't tend. Can I not value the lives of these people?" Jonah is a delightfully subversive book. Recall that to Jonah, Nineveh was the capital city of the empire that was the mortal enemy of Israel. The statement that God cares about the people of Nineveh enough to send them a prophet and allow them to repent goes against any excessive belief that, as the chosen people, Israel has somehow an exclusive right to God's protection.
