Scat by Carl Hiaasen, Teen Pick Review by Clare K.

Recommended for: people over nine, and people who love to READ!

I read this book over a year ago, and I still remember it! What does that tell you? In this hilariously, well-plotted, and overall wonderful book, a boy named Nick and a girl named Marta go on a mission to try to find their missing teacher, Mrs. Starch. They think the class delinquent has something to do with it, and many other characters have a part to play in this entertaining tale.

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.
