I really enjoy Carl Hiaasen's adult books - they are funny and engaging. Scat is his third book for kids and while humor is in play, the books, written for upper elementary and middle school audience are more ecological mystery than anything else. In Scat the cast of characters ( Nick, Marta, Smoke, Twilly, and Mrs. Starch) do battle with the Red Diamond Energy Corporation as they fight for the survival of the Florida panther. Should you choose to read Scat be prepared to devote some time to the story; at 371 pages there's a lot to take in but it's well worth it.
