Flush

By: Carl Hiaasen

Narrated by: Michael Welch

A hilarious, high-stakes adventure involving crooked casino boats, floating fish, toxic beaches, and one kid determined to get justice. This is Carl Hiaasen's Florida—where the creatures are wild and the people are wilder!

You know it's going to be a rough summer when you spend Father's Day visiting your dad in the local lockup.

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 stuck in the clink.

Now Noah is determined to succeed where his dad failed. He will prove that the Coral Queen is dumping illegally . . . somehow. His allies may not add up to much–his sister Abbey, an unreformed childhood biter; Lice Peeking, a greedy sot with poor hygiene; Shelly, a bartender and a woman scorned; and a mysterious pirate–but Noah's got a plan to flush this crook out into the open. A plan that should sink the crooked little casino, once and for all.

Critic reviews

"Compulsively readable with a cleverly conceived resolution. . . . Fans of
spy stories, action, environmental intrigue, and, well, Hiaasen, will cheer for
this one." - The Bulletin

it was good

loved it in lucked the clues and how they had to find out how to stop a boat from poluting

WHAT A GOOD BOOK!!!!

It's feels so real when you read the story and it makes you feel like your in the story!! I loved this story so much and I definitely recommend reading it!!

Hiaasen does not disappoint

I use this book in class because it’s Florida and I’m from Fort Pierce. My students love it because first it’s a compelling story. Then, it’s ecological, geographical, nautical, relevant, and it’s fun. Also, there’s loads of great vocabulary and human interest topics. I can’t wait to get back down to the keys, rent a kayak, and get my fish on. Thanks Carl. “Excelsior!”, as the kids say.

Flush. I think that it is a very good book and I recommend this book but there is a lot of bad words.😬but it is a excellent book.👍🏻

Better production

This version sounds almost like the microphone was swinging as they recorded it...the volume goes louder and softer constantly...the story is entertaining but just a warning that the recording is annoying.
