Bestselling novelist Carl Hiaasen is back with another hysterical mystery adventure for young readers, set in the Florida Keys. 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.From the Hardcover edition.

Flush is a good book, and I liked the theme of the story. Noah and his friends are defending nature against careless people like the owner of the Coral Queen (who is illegally dumping waste into the bay). If you liked Flush, I suggest you read Hoot or Scat (if you haven't already).

This is another great and funny short novel by Hiaasen. I enjoy his adult-oriented novels too, but his earlier YA novel Hoot is, IMO, some of his best work. This one isn't quite as tightly presented as Hoot, but it's highly enjoyable as well. A few situations in Flush were slightly improbable, but t...
