Scat

Description

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! 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. 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. 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. “Ingenious . . . Scat won’t disappoint Hiaasenphiles of any age.” —The
New York Times “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 Read more
