Bunny Starch, the most feared biology teacher ever, is missing after a school field trip to Black Vine Swamp. And to be honest, the kids in her class are relieved.
But when the principal tries to tell the students that Mrs. Starch has been called away on a "family emergency," Nick and Marta just don't buy it. No, they figure the class delinquent, Smoke, has something to do with her disappearance.
And he does! But not in the way they think. There's a lot more going on in Black Vine Swamp than any one player in this twisted tale can see. And Nick and Marta will have to reckon with an eccentric eco-avenger, a stuffed rat named Chelssea, a wannabe Texas oilman, a singing substitute teacher, and a very ticked off Florida panther before they really begin to see the big picture.
That's life in the swamp kids.
