I just finished this book, this morning on my Amazon Kindle. Like all the books by Carl Hiaasen written for juveniles, it is a good read, 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 title - panther droppings - a.k.a. Scat.
It did get a little trite at one point when he couldn't resist a Dr. Seuss tie in...
I think Hiaasen is a good writer and would not hesitate to recommend this book. I haven't read any of his adult fiction, but may add some to my summer reading list for 2010 when I would have time to read adult lit again.
I would also like him to write one of these where a girl is the main character.
