Scat by Carl Hiaasen
Mrs. Starch has just been reported missing! Her whole class is worried, sure shes a little strict... O.K. a lot strict, but for some reason they don't really think she has a "family emergency". The class went on a field trip to a swamp and there was a fire, not a forest fire, no someone started this fire. Most people think a class member, Dawane, other wise none as Smoke, started the fire to get his teacher back for making him write a paper about acne. And Smoke has a past record of setting fire to a bill board. Nick and Marta try to find out whats going on, they even sneak into their teachers house to look for clues!
I really liked this book because its funny, and parts of it are kind of weird and scary! This was one of my favorite books so far! I would give this book a... 98% chance of voting for!
Mrs. Starch's name is a perfect name for a strict teacher! I wonder if Mrs. Starch is as stiff as what happens when spray starch lands on cotton shirts? It seems that her students like her just one tiny bit if the entire class goes out looking for her, don't you?
ReplyDeleteI haven't checked in with you in awhile so I'm wondering if you are almost done with your reading list. How many books are left for you to read?
Actually by now I'm done and I already voted last Friday!
