Scat by Carl Hiaasen


 Mrs. Starch, the mean and strict biology teacher. But  when a fire breaks out on a school outing to Black Vine Swamp and she disappears, Nick Waters and his friend Marta think maybe a troubled kid Duane Scrod is to blame. Duane’s nickname  “Smoke” came from his reputation for setting fires on public property, and he and Mrs. Starch  have already had a run-in. Nick and Marta are even more concerned when a few days later they  see Duane with a mysterious man driving Mrs. Starch’s car. Is Duane responsible for Mrs.  Starch’s disappearance?  Did he set the fire? There is a lot more to Duane, the fire and Mrs.  Starch than anyone realizes.

  3. The class goes on a feild trip to a swamp. They didnt stay too long because the woods caught on fire and the teacher sent the kids back to the bus. One of the teachers had to go back for the medicine. The teacher was left behind and the next day, she didnt show up at school. All of the students and teachers were worried and they went back to go find her. This book is a mystery and will keep you on your feet. You will not want to put this book down and when you read it you will have to recomend this book. :)

    Students are at school and one day they go on a field trip to a swamp. The students then realize that there is a fire and they all go back on the bus but one kid is missing. Mrs. Starch went back to go get the kid and she told the kid to leave her behind. The next day the kids go to school they soon realize that the teacher wasnt there. There were all wondering what had happened to their teacher. They all think Duane, "Smoke," did it bc he is known for starting fires on peoples property. Did Duane do it or was it just a set up? Read to find out more about what happened to Mrs. Starch.
