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.

Flush

Carl Hiaasen did a great job including every thing a good book should have; mystery, tense moments, and tons more!!! When Noahs dad sinks a boat because he supects the owner of illegal dumping and then gets put in jail he leaves Noah to find out if the owner of the Coral Queen (the boat his dad sunk) is really illegally dumping. It's a dangerous job, one of the owners "body gaurds/goons" is supected to have murdered someone.

Great book on CD

We took this book on CD on a road trip from TX to Montana. Boy did it come in handy. My kids were ages 11 and 13 at the time, and they both really enjoyed this book. These kids are not easy to please either. My husband and I liked it as well. The narration was great, and the story was very entertaining. If you are going on a long road trip with kids, this is a must have. We had "Hoot" with us as well, but that was before the movie came out.

Kids like it because it is about toilets. Adults will like it because it is awesome!

Carl Hiaasen has done it again! After writing "HOOT," Hiaasen has managed to think up another great book about kids saving the environment.
Kids will be interested to read this book because it is narrated from a child's point-of-view. Unlike reality, it is the adults who get in trouble and the kids have to get them out of it. Each chapter ends with a cliffhanger, so don't think reading this book sporadically. Adults will like "Flush" because it deals with the corruption of society. PLEASE READ CARL HIAASEN'S MASTERPIECE OF SUSPENSE.

Flush is a great book!

Read the book Flush. It is a really great book! The book is by Carl Hiaasen. If someone likes boats or oceans, or both, you'll like this book. Meet the Underwood Family: Paine, Donna, Noah, and Abbey. At the beginning of the book, Noah's dad is in jail because he sunk the Coral Queen. Dusty Muleman, the owner of the boat, was dumping sewage in the ocean. The reason why Noah's dad sunk the boat is so that none of the sewage would get in the ocean. Noah and Abbey try to make up a plot to get Dusty Muleman busted for eternity for dumping sewage into the ocean, to prove their father's innocence.
My favorite thing about this book was how the book took place in Florida. The plot was really twisty with lots of surprises you never see coming. Watch out, there is some cussing in it! There are fights with a gun and with things blowing up. Read the book Flush: it has adventure, fights, and explosions. This is a five star book and they should make a movie from it! Have fun reading Flush!

Book for young readers will appeal to adults as well

Noah Underwood isn't all that happy that he has to visit his dad in the local jail. His mom is even more angry about it. But when Paine Underwood gets in his head that something isn't right, he can't be stopped. So when the operator of a local casino boat pumps in all of his toilet waste into the ocean, Paine thought the only logical thing to do was sink the boat. Unfortunately for him, the local authorities disagreed. So while he sits in jail, Noah and his sister, Abbie, set out to find a way to prove that their dad was correct about the toxic dumping and see if they can find a way to protect the local waterways.

Hiaasen's story is clever and has great easy to love characters. This book for younger readers has the same tone and humor as do his adult books. And it is so well written that adults will enjoy the story as well. It is a shorter, less involved book than his others, but Hiaasen doesn't "dumb down" anything for his younger readers. The plot is still rich and exciting and full of savory personalities. A real winner!
