Scat by Carl Hiaasen
When the feared biology teacher, Bunny Starch, disappears after a field trip to Black Vine Swamp, her students are relieved.
But the family emergency that the school administration claims caused her sudden disappearance isn't fooling her students, Nick and Marta. The two think Smoke, the class troublemaker, has something to do it.
And he is involved...but not in the way they'd imagined. "There's a lot more going on in Black Vine Swamp than any one player in this twisted tale can see. And Nick and Marta will have to recon with an excentric eco-avenger, a stuffed rat named Chelsea, a wannabe Texas oilman, a singing substitute teacher, and a ticked off Florida panther before they really begin to see the big picture" (publisher's description).
Hiaasen's novel Hoot won the Newbery Honor Award and was adapted as a motion picture. Flush spent over a year on the New York Times bestseller list.
