Flush by Carl Hiassen

A few years ago I read Hoot by Carl Hiaasen and loved it, so when Flush came around in the same pro-environment vein, I took notice.  In this story, Noah’s dad, Paine Underwood, has let his anger go a little too far.  When he’s arrested for sinking the Coral Queen, a gambling boat that is dumping sewage into the harbor, Paine asks Noah to help catch the culprit.    Noah, along with his sister Abbey, a strong-willed childhood biter, take up the cause.  They have a scheme to reveal the poo-dumping scam that’s polluting the beaches and the siblings won’t rest without a fight. I thought this book was fantastic and I loved the characters – especially Abbey.  The fast paced plot keeps the story exciting and inspires the environmentalist in all of us.  I would definitely pick up a copy, along with Hoot.
