Publisher's summary

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

"...Hiaasen still succeeds at relating an entertaining story while getting across a serious message about conservation and the results of just plain greed." (Booklist)

just like all his other books for young people: hoot, chomp, and scat, fun characters and outrageous adventures. I'm 65 and I love them all.

Carl Hiaasen is a genius


I love this author. Simply because his writing is so descriptive and entertaining. Reading or listening is like watching a movie. His characters are funny and quirky. Super detailed depth! It's such a nice escape, laced with bits of history or facts you would never know about mixed in. Light hearted and easy. Great for
All ages. No steamy scenes or foul language. They are refreshing stories! Love it!

overall good

I enjoyed this book. It would get quiet at some points and was difficult to hear, but then it would get loud again. Other than that it was good.

A fun, bonding experience

My son and I started listening to this book as we drove in the car. We loved it so much. He couldn't wait to get into the car - he even stopped playing on his iTouch. We'll be listening to many more books together!

a fun read

This was a great book to share with my nine-year-old during a family vacation.

It had Haaisens wit but in a child friendly format. That there was a message important to any Floridian is just a bonus.
