Flush by Carl Hiaasen is about Noah and Abbey Underwood, siblings who are out to prove that a local casino boat owner is poisoning their beach with toilet waste. Noah and Abbey's dad recently got into trouble with the law (again) by sinking Dusty Muleman's casino boat. To make a point and to get the media involved in his cause, Paine Underwood decided to remain in jail facing criminal charges! When Noah and Abbey hear their mother talking about divorce, they know it is time to come up with a plan to save their family and prove Dusty's guilt. They call their plan Operation: Royal Flush!This is the second time I've read this book, and I love it just as much as ever! Carl Hiaasen always brings in environmental issues into his stories in such a creative and compelling way. It makes me want to go out and save the world! This is one of the 2008-2009 Maud Hart Lovelace Nominees.

This book is great. I read it in the after school is cool class. My favorite part of the book is when Noah and Abbey does the royal flush.

This book is about Noah, whose dad went to jail for sinking a casino boat because Dusty(the casino boat owner) is dumping human waste into the ocean; and to make a point Noah's dad stays in jail. Then Noah and Abbey(little sister) heard about their mom and dad getting a divorce, they figure out a plan to save the family and prove Dusty as GUILTY!
(later the plan(royal flush) succeeds with the help of Shelly(the bartender at the casino boat)
I loved this book, it was a nice short read, and funny at parts.
