| Synopsis Hilarious, 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.
Publisher's Note Although 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! Simultaneous. Mrs. Bunny Starch, the most feared biology teacher ever, was last seen during a field trip to Black Vine Swamp. The school’s headmaster and the police seem to have accepted the sketchy, unsigned note explaining that her absence is due to a “family emergency.” There’s no real evidence of foul play. But still, Nick and Marta don’t buy it. Something weird is definitely going on. Carl Hiaasen is a columnist for the Miami Herald and is the author of many bestselling books, including Sick Puppy, Nature Girl, and The Downhill Lie. He lives in Florida. From the Hardcover edition. Nick and his friend Marta decide to investigate when a mysterious fire starts near a Florida wildlife preserve and an unpopular teacher goes missing.

Mrs. Bunny Starch, the most feared biology teacher ever, was last seen during a field trip to Black Vine Swamp. The school’s headmaster and the police seem to have accepted the sketchy, unsigned note explaining that her absence is due to a “family emergency.” There’s no real evidence of foul play. But still, Nick and Marta don’t buy it. Something weird is definitely going on. The New York Times - David PogueNot many authors are equally successful at writing books for adults and children, but Carl Hiaasen seems to have made an effortless transition…His latest, Scat, won't disappoint Hiaasenphiles of any age…the 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. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

IF YOU ARE PURCHASING AN MP3 - CD AUDIOBOOK:
The MP3 audiobooks are normal sized CDs but with very compressed MP3 files. Unlike normal CDs which will hold a little over an hour of listening, the MP3-CDs will hold up to 15 or 16 hours of listening.
As long as your CD player has the MP3 technology it will play. Most new automobiles come standard with MP3 stereos. Automobiles, prior to 2006, did not have the MP3 stereos as standard equipment.
