Grade 8
Mrs. Starch is the meanest teacher at Nick's high school. When she goes missing no one really misses her, but she left in extremely mysterious circumstances. Because of this, Nick and his friend Marta can't help but try to find their teacher, but will their decision pay off or will they pay a price instead?
Nick's class goes on a field trip to the Everglades and a wildfire breaks out. When Mrs. Starch the strict biology teacher mysteriously disappears in suspicious circumstances during the fire, Nick and Marta decide to look for her. Their search leads them through the Everglades, new friendships, and a few close encounters with the elusive Florida Panther.
This book is truly outstanding and probably one of the best I have ever read. I think the setting and the plot makes this book so special. Hiaasen always gives a vivid picture of where his characters are. Also, the plot is impossible to predict.
I would suggest Scat to anyone. It teaches an important lesson on respecting the environment. Also, Carl Hiaasen really knows how to write a great book.
