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.
