Starred Review, School Library Journal, January 2009:
“This well-written and smoothly plotted story, with fully realized
characters, will certainly appeal to mystery lovers.”
Review, The New York Times Book Review, February 15, 2009:
"Not many authors are equally successful at writing books for
adults and children, but Carl Hiaasen seems to have made an
effortless transition ... The ingenious plotting makes SCAT more
engrossing than either of its predecessors."
