[Frederick Muller <mullinator52@GMAIL.COM>]

Hiaasen, Carl. Scat. Knopf, 2009 [978-0-375-837486-8]
Nick and his friend Marta go on a field trip to the swamp with the
dreaded science teacher, Ms. Starch who disappears during a wildfire
in the swamp on the trip.  The school receives a notes saying that Ms.
Starch has to attend to a family emergency and will be absent for a
while.  This starts a big adventure for Nick and Marta as the try to
figure out what happened to their science teacher.  They cross paths
with an interesting cast of characters while trying to figure out what
is going on.  This 371 page book is a fun Florida ecology based
mystery, similar to Hiaasen’s other books.  This one involves the
Florida panther.. and tracking it through it’s droppings (or scat.)  I
am sure this book will be as popular as he other ones.
