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.

Industry Reviews
"Once again, Hiaasen has written an edge-of-the-seat eco-thriller...From the first sentence, readers will be hooked."
(01/01/2009)

"Don't expect any environmental preaching here, although a few science facts cleverly sneak into the story; instead, count on a page-turner that issues its own low-key call of the wild."
(01/01/2009)

"[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."
(02/15/2009)

"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."
