Flush by Carl Haaisen is about a courageous teenage boy named Noah Underwood that takes place in the Florida Keys. Noah's father, a fisherman and environmentalist, has been arrested for sinking a local casino boat because he believes the owner is dumping waste from the boat into the local sea water. Despite the fact that everyone in the community thinks his dad is crazy, Noah sets out to save him by proving the casino boat owner, Dusty Muleman, is guilty just as his father thought.
With the help of Abbey, Noah's curious and brave younger sister who can do anything her minds put her to, and Shelly, the casino boat's tattooed bartender who dislikes Dusty, Noah devises a plan to catch Dusty Muleman. Together, they face dangerous men and risky moves to help Noah's father, but they always find a way out of their problems. Sneaking around in the middle of the night, encountering many dangerous men including Dusty, and stealing private property is just the least of their problems.
While trying to save his father by proving Dusty guilty, Noah's adventures gain him friendship, strengthen his family, and help the local environment. Noah gains all this plus greater independence and learns that he has a voice and that his actions can make a difference in the world!
I thought this book had an enticing story. I read it for a school project and couldn't put it down. The plot was exciting and full of many twists and turns. The environmental theme of the book is very inspiring and current. It shows its young readers that even they can make a difference in the environment. Haaisen's unique and humorous writing style really brought the characters to life and made them relatable.
Despite the fact that there were some holes in the story line and some of the characters including Lice and Grandpa Bobby, weren't fully developed and were somewhat confusing to keep track of, I would recommend this book to anyone that would enjoy reading a heart-felt, short, and funny story.
