<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br> Nick and his friend Marta decide to investigate when a mysterious fire starts near a Florida wildlife preserve and an unpopular teacher goes missing. <p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br> <b>Carl Hiaasen takes us deep in the Everglades with an eccentric eco-avenger, a ticked-off panther, and two kids on a mission to find their missing teacher. Florida--where the animals are wild and the people are wilder!</b> <p/>Bunny Starch, the most feared biology teacher ever, is missing. She disappeared after a school field trip to Black Vine Swamp. And, to be honest, the kids in her class are relieved. <p/>But when the principal tries to tell the students that Mrs. Starch has been called away on a family emergency, Nick and Marta just don't buy it. No, they figure the class delinquent, Smoke, has something to do with her disappearance. <p/>And he does! But not in the way they think. There's a lot more going on in Black Vine Swamp than any one player in this twisted tale can see. It's all about to hit the fan, and when it does, the bad guys better scat. <br><b> </b><br>"Ingenious . . . <i>Scat </i>won't disappoint Hiaasenphiles of any age." --<i>The New York Times</i> <p/>"Woohoo! It's time for another trip to Florida--screwy, gorgeous Florida, with its swamps and scammers and strange creatures (two- and four-legged). Our guide, of course, is Carl Hiaasen." --DenverPost.com <p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br> <b>Starred Review, School Library Journal, January 2009: <br></b>"This well-written and smoothly plotted story, with fully realized characters, will certainly appeal to mystery lovers." <p/><b>Review, The New York Times Book Review, February 15, 2009: <br></b>Not many authors are equally successful at writing books for adults and children, but Carl Hiaasen seems to have made an effortless transition ...
