Hiaasen, Carl. Flush

Hiaasen, Carl. Flush. Knopf, 2005 [0-375-82182-1]
Noah's father is an idealist who has a problem with anger. He figures out that a local casino boat is dumping it's sewage in the marina, polluting the marina, beach, and a wildlife sanctuary soooooooo he pulls the plugs on the boat and it sinks. The story opens with dad in jail (not the first time.) Years before Noah's grandfather was reported dead in Columbia. Now the reader is entangled in a web of mystery and plots to prove Dad innocent, and foil the casino operator. This 263 books is a fun adventure/mystery book in which we meet, two wise-guy kids, a drunk, his girlfriend, corrupt local officials, and a tough casino operator. I think I enjoyed this one even more than Hoot.
