There was humor and environmental stuff mixed in with action. The plan to stop the Coral Queen was interesting, and the suspense killed me when I had to go to bed after finishing a good chapter. I thought this quote was kind of funny because I think telling his mom would be better then calling the cops. “If you’re not back in an hour,” my sister said, “I’m either telling Mom or calling the cops.” “No, Abbey, you need to stay here in case he shows up for the boat.” More important, I didn’t want her to see Lice Peeking passed out drunk in that smelly trailer, if that’s where he was. Towards the end of the book, I couldn’t put it down because of the action, suspense, and answers.

I liked Hoot, but I liked the plot of Flush more. (publisher’s summary)Ĭarl Hiaasen is one of my favorite authors, and Flush is one of my favorite books. And with the help of Lice Peeking, a half-soused ex-mate of the Coral Queen Shelly, a big-hearted bartender with even bigger biceps and his little sister, Abbey, an unreformed childhood biter, he just might stand a chance at flushing the truth into the open and clearing his dad’s name. But Noah has an ace up his sleeve: a plan that’s crazy enough to work. The fiendish flusher has already bamboozled the press, the prosecutors, and even the coast guard - so the odds aren’t good. Only Noah knows what’s going on, and it’s up to him to catch the culprit in the act. When his attempt to stop the Coral Queen from dumping illegally is scuttled along with the boat, Noah’s dad is in the slammer before you can say “eco-crime.” But the casino boat is back in business within days, pumping gallons of raw sewage into the waters of the Florida Keys and gradually turning the ocean into a toilet bowl.
