Scat

            "Scat" is a funny, mystery novel by Carl Hiaasen. This book takes place in the beautiful, swampy, hot state of Florida.
             The main characters in this book are Nick Waters, Mrs.Starch and Drake McBride.Nick's Father is a captain in the National Guard. Nick plays baseball and goes to Truman School with his best friend Marta.The second character, Mrs.Starch, is the most feared person in Truman, and also happens to be Nick and Marta's biology teacher.The third character is Drake McBride, the president of  Red Diamond Energy Corporation.
              When Mrs.Starch,the most unpopular teacher in Truman goes missing, trying to retrieve Lizzie's asthma inhaler during a field trip to Black Vine Swamp, Nick and Marta don't believe the principals explanation about a "family emergency".So they decide to investigate. They suspect that "Smoke", the class bully, has something to do with her disappearance. Turns out they were right on!Smoke is involved but most certainly not in the way they thought he was. There is a lot more going on in that mysterious swamp than two kids can see and they will have to deal with an eco-avenger,a wannabe Texas oilman, an obnoxious parrot, and a really ticked off mama panther before they start to see what's really going on.And then, late one night , Lizzy hears someone outside and finds her asthma inhaler on the porch.Is Mrs.Starch alive? Why can't anyone get a hold of her? What's going on?Read the book and find out!
              I really loved this book.It was very fun and full of twists.It will have you hooked from the first sentence!
