Scat

Scat by Carl Hiaasen is a wonderful book.  It’s hilarious and I would this book to anyone.

Bunny Starch is one of the most feared and detested biology teachers ever.  Mrs. Starch is Nick and Marta’s biology teacher, and she took their class on a field trip to Black Vine Swamp.  Not long after they got there, they smelt smoke, and discovered that a small fire had started at the edge of the swamp.  They quickly left for the buses, but Mrs.Starch stayed behind to retrieve an inhaler that a student had dropped.  It was the last time Nick and Marta saw their biology teacher.  There’s a message on Mrs. Starch’s answering machine and a letter written by her that both say she has taken leave because of a family emergency.  The problem is that no one has actually seen or heard from Mrs. Starch.  Nick and Marta are terrified that their classmate Duane, who everyone calls Smoke, has done something to her because he threatened her the day before she disappeared.  So they decide to take things into their own hands and figure out what happened to her.  Below is a video that talks about the book.
