| 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.
