FAVORITE CHARACTER
Marta
I like Marta because she is sensitive, quiet,
and concerned at times, and other times she
is fearless, and adventurous.
SUMMARY OF WHAT I’VE READ SO FAR.
So far Scat is about Mrs. Starch, whom all the kids
dislike, and her mysterious disappearance during
a school field trip. There was a controlled fire that
caused the students and teachers to evacuate.
Mrs. Starch disappeared to retrieve a students
medicine, and nobody has seen her since. Most of
the students had been interviewed. But the main
suspect is Smoke, the class trouble maker. Could
Smoke really have caused a fire just to get back at
Mrs. Starch?
