__Flush __ By Carl Hiaasen Realistic Fiction Nominated By Colin

This book is about two kids, Noah and Abbey, and their dad trying to bust a casino boat owner. You might think, “why?” Because the owner is illegally dumping his toilets into the marina instead of a holding tank. Along the road to busting the floating gambling hotspot, their dad gets put in jail for sinking the boat, their mom is at risk of divorce, and the kid’s plan. The plan was to sneak onto the boat, and dump a bunch of food coloring in the toilets so when the toilets were emptied, the waste would have a visible trail leading to the boat. After their sister’s secret busting attempt, they put the real plan in action. They borrow their friend’s dinghy and head for the casino boat. Who is in more danger? Noah or the ocean? Read the book to find out. The reason I nominated the book is because it is about saving the ocean, with a twist of action, adventure, and a normal boy. I do not like many books and it is a book I love, so I nominated it. I also nominated it because it’s an interesting topic with the perfect author, Carl Hiaasen. He shows but doesn’t tell a lot of moments, and he fits in humor like a puzzle piece. I am all ears for humor in a great adventure.
