Take a romp in the swamp with this New York Times bestselling mystery adventure set in the Florida Keys from Newbery Honoree Carl Hiaasen!
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 in the local lock-up.
Now Noah is determined to succeed where his dad failed. He will prove that the Coral Queen is dumping illegally . . . somehow.

i really liked when they said swimming in a beach or a toalite i liked it alot
I loved Hoot and when I saw this book it was even better. Carl has such a way of writing that just brings you into the story. I have been hocked and will probably read the rest of his books.
Flush is an awesome book! It’s about this kid named Noah who is on a mission to prove that a sneaky owner of a gambling casino boat is dumping his sewage tank right into the ocean. It’s full of adventure and excitement, and I really like it. If you’ve read any of the other books in the series and liked it, then you’ll like Flush.
This book is a little borning in the begging but gets much better! It has a little suspense, some more than others
I decided to read this book because when I bought it from the book store, I read the back and it sounded really good. I want to recommend it because there is a lot of excitement, and adventure in the book.
I think you should read the book flush because it is interesting with lots of detail and different scenes and a hand full of different charecters.
it is like hoot
great book couldnt stop reading
