A plan that should sink the crooked little casino, once and for all. His allies may not add up to much–his sister Abbey, an unreformed childhood biter Lice Peeking, a greedy sot with poor hygiene Shelly, a bartender and a woman scorned and a mysterious pirate–but Noah's got a plan to flush this crook out into the open. He will prove that the Coral Queen is dumping illegally. Life is untroubled for Noah, who dotes spending his days fishing, snorkeling, boating and hanging with his friends and sister in the warm Florida surf and sun. Now Noah is determined to succeed where his dad failed. Flush written by Carl Hiaasen is the story of Noah Underwood, a puerile boy who lives in the Florida Keys with his mother, father and younger sister. The boat is pumped out and back in business within days and Noah's dad is stuck in the clink. He can't prove it though, and so he decides that sinking the boat will make an effective statement. Noah's dad is sure that the owner of the Coral Queen casino boat is flushing raw sewage into the harbor–which has made taking a dip at the local beach like swimming in a toilet. You know it's going to be a rough summer when you spend Father's Day visiting your dad in the local lockup. This is Carl Hiaasen's Florida-where the creatures are wild and the people are wilder! A hilarious, high-stakes adventure involving crooked casino boats, floating fish, toxic beaches, and one kid determined to get justice.
