Once again Carl Hiaasen has given us an environmental story that keeps us on the edge of our seat. There are several mysteries to be solved in this book. Hiaasen does an excellent job of tying everything together. This story takes place in Naples, Florida. I live only an hour from there. Mrs. Starch...more...

Scat, another Carl Hiaasen masterpiece! This novel follows the adventure of friends Nick and Marta, who are on a quest to find out what really happened to their crazy biology teacher. Apparently, Mrs. Starch is away due to a “family emergency” but Nick doesn’t believe it, he thinks it’s th...more...

I just finished this, this morning on my kindle. Like all the books by Carl Hiaasen written for juveniles, it is a good, if rather formulaic. Again the characters are very ecology minded, which I think is an important message. This time they are saving an endangered Florida panther. Hence the ti...more...

Well, this book was definitely different to the other two (Hoot and Flush), but, overall, it was practically the same.
Have you noticed some of the similarities/themes of the three books?
-they're all in Florida
-there's always some short-tempered guy who does (illegal) stuff to defen...more...

Like Hiaasen's other books for youth, there are some unsavory deeds being done by uncaring meanies in the wilds of Florida. This book concerns Nick, Marta, & their crazy biology teacher, who goes missing on a field trip into the swamp. Missing teacher Bunny Starch was last seen trooping back into ...more...

I'm a long time fan of Carl Hiaasen. This is the first of his young adult novels that I've read. Except for a little dumbing down of the language, and a bit more explanation, it's every bit as good as his thoroughly delightful novels for adults. The twisted characters and demented plots (or is that...more...

When unpopular Biology teacher Bunny Starch disappears on a class field trip, students Nick and Marta are the only ones willing to look beyond the most obvious suspect. In their search for the truth, they're helped by some awfully chatty investigators and more than a few lucky breaks. Like Hiaasen'...more...

This "eco-thriller" for young adults is a great read. Nick and Marta investigate the disappearance of their quirky and unpopular biology teacher Mrs. Starch.
It all starts on a field trip to the Black Vine Swamp. A wildfire breaks out, and they must evacuate immediately. As...more...

Very cool story, right up there with Hoot and Flush. I'll keep my notes about the awful narration, but I did enjoy the story of friendship and standing up for what you believe in. The environmental message is the main theme without being shoved down your throat. I think Hiassen has a gift, combining...more...
