Flush

Hiassen, Carl. Flush. NY: Alfred A. Knoph, 2005. 263 pages. (Fiction / Humor)

Noah and his sister Abbey live in the Key’s in Florida. Their father was just sent to jail for sinking a casino boat. Noah and Abbey can’t understand why. They soon found out why their father sunk the boat. He sunk it because he knew after all the passenger’s left and no one was around the crew unloaded all the waste tanks right into the ocean. All the waste was contaminating the water and the beaches around the area. It also made it unsafe for all the fish in the contaminated water. So now their father is in jail the kids take it upon themselves to stop the person from contaminating the water. They also try their best to clean up the beaches.

Flush is a well-written book by Carl Hiassen. This book tells a lot about Florida and some of the animals that live in the harbor and in the mangroves. This book is written so well you don’t want to put it down. It sucks you in and makes you want to keep reading chapter after chapter. I can say it is one of the best books I have ever read.
