Flush

Description

A hilarious, high-stakes adventure involving crooked casino boats, floating
fish, toxic beaches, and one kid determined to get justice. This is Carl
Hiaasen’s Florida—where the creatures are wild and the people are wilder! You
know it’s going to be a rough summer when you spend Father’s Day visiting your
dad in the local lockup. 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. He can’t prove it though, and so
he decides that sinking the boat will make an effective statement. Right. The
boat is pumped out and back in business within days and Noah’s dad is stuck in
the clink. Now Noah is determined to succeed where his dad failed. He will
prove that the Coral Queen is dumping illegally . . . somehow. 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. A plan that should sink the crooked little casino, once and for
all. Read more
