THE BRITISH COLUMBIA SOCIETY FOR THE PREVENTION OF CRUELTY TO ANIMALS
Our mission: To protect and enhance the quality of life for domestic, farm and wild animals in B.C.
During a science field trip to Black Vine swamp, the much feared teacher, Mrs. Starch goes missing after a wild fire breaks out.
Even though the students welcome the break from their teacher, something just doesn't feel right so Nick and Marta start to investigate. They suspect "bad boy" Duane as having something to do with their teacher's disappearance but once they find clues they soon discover they have misjudged him and their teacher.
As they start to unravel the mystery they stumble upon a scam by an oil company and an endangered puma. All of this makes for an exciting adventure young readers are sure to enjoy.
