"With his usual flair, Hiaasen blends endangered species...uniquely Floridian landscapes, and environmental mystery into an intricate plot web, laying out multiple strands before pulling them up tightly into a resolution that turns the kids into the latest media heroes." "[T]he ingenious plotting makes SCAT more engrossing than either of its predecessors. The characters are richer-- two of them turn out to be not at all the caricatures they seemed at first. And even the title is a clever pun, referring both to the good guys' message to the bad guys, and to the panther droppings that hold a key to the mystery. In short, Hiaasen's? novels for younger readers seem to be maturing right along with them." "Once again, Hiaasen has written an edge-of-the-seat eco-thriller...From the first sentence, readers will be hooked." Publisher's noteAlthough a strange note was left behind that explained her sudden absence from school, Nick and Marta are still doubtful about the whereabouts of their teacher, Mrs. Bunny Starch, since she went missing from a field trip to Black Vine Swamp, and so they set out together to discover the truth! AnnotationHilarious, heartfelt, and ecologically adventurous, Carl Hiaasen's third mystery for kids follows the sleuthing of Nick and Marta, who are searching out the real reason for their biology teacher's disappearance on a swamp field trip. Soon, they uncover illegal dumping in the Everglades, the problems of the endangered panther, and so much more. Featuring a touch of crossover in characters from his adult novels, Hiaasen's two other well-received books are FLUSH and HOOT.
