Book Description
================
Hiaasen's many adult novels have a particular form of insanity 
to them. No matter just how you think you've figured out what's 
going on or about to happen, he throws a knuckle ball that 
threatens to become a bean ball, aimed right at your head. 
When he began writing YA books, he brought some of that 
with him, yet tempered for a younger audience.Scat is the 
story of Nick and Marta, whose biology teacher didn't return f
rom a class field trip to the Black Vine swamp. Not that Mrs. 
Starch is going to be missed; she was the most fearsome 
teacher at Truman School. But neither of them believe that 
she was called away on a "family emergency," but instead 
was the victim of foul play, probably by Smoke, the class 
delinquent. Very quickly, and in typical Hiaasen fashion, the 
plot gets not only complicated, but ever-stranger players in 
this mystery come fast and furious. The story is appropriate f
or middle school and older, enjoyable to read, and reflects 
Hiaasen's love of the Florida wild lands.
