I really like Carl Hiaasen's books. He has a formula that has really worked for him. Get some passionate kids who stumble upon a mystery and make it be environmentally friendly. He is the author of Hoot and Flush, and both of those stories involve the same mix.
Scat is the story of Nick and his biology teacher who is mean and horrible and intimidates all her students. On a field trip to Black Vine Swamp, a small forest fire begins and the students had to evacuate immediately and return to school. Miss Starch, the teacher, goes back to retrieve a student's inhaler but never returns. It seems simple enough, but the tangled web in finding Miss Starch which includes the recently humiliated student who surprisingly disappeared while all this is going on.
Bad word alert: the book is peppered with 10-15 PG rated "bad words."
