Mrs. Starch, the cruelest teacher at the Truman School, humiliates Duane Scrod Jr., an extremely volatile student. Then Mrs. Starch vanishes during a biology field trip to Black Vine Swamp. The authorities initially suspect Duane, but they can't question him; he's been missing since the day before the field trip. Certain that something strange is going on, Duane's classmates Nick and Marta investigate the disappearances. What they discover is definitely strange-it involves endangered panthers, a sleazy oil prospector, and a rampant environmentalist named Twilly Spree.
