vjkxh ﻿__Scat__ ,by Carl Hiassen, is an exciting and relateable book that I really liked to read. This book is about the growing problem that drilling for oil and other reasources destroyes native animal's habitats. I like the authors style. If you've already read __Hoot__ or __Flush__, two of Hiaasen's other books, his stye is the same. The main characters where Nick, Marta, Twilly, Smoke and Mrs. Starch. Nick talks for most of the book and he's in Mrs.Starches biology class. Marta is in the same class with nick and thier both friends. Twilly helps Nick and Marta and Mrs. Starch with thier problems. Smoke is a troublemaker who is accused of an arson that he didn't do and later helps Nick and Marta. Mrs. Starch is smoke, Nick and Marta's biology teacher who they fear more than anything. njhih ﻿The setting of the book is prestent day in florida. Most of the story takes place in the Black Vine Swamp, School and at Nick's home. The plot of this story revolves around a mother florida panther. When Nick and Marta go on a field trip they see what they think is a panther and then a wildfire starts. They all leave except for Mrs. Starch and she's no where to be found and goes missing for a few days and everyone goes looking for her. When they find her she's helping Twilly in the swamp look for a panther cub's mum. I think if you like books about panthers or ecology books you'd really like __Scat__. Or if you' ve read one or two of his other books you'd like this one, too. njhuI ﻿In conclusion, I would highly recomend __Scat__. I hope this was a helpful book review.
