Noah Underwood’s dad always goes a “little overboard” when trying to protect the environment but this time he has gone way too far. After sinking the Coral Queen, a casino boat, for dumping its sewage tank into the basin, he pulled out a folding chair and watched it sink. The police found him sleeping there in the morning and captured him. Then after visiting him in jail, Noah decides to help his dad capture Dusty Muleman, the owner of the Coral Queen, and prove the accusations made against his dad are false. He and his sister Abbey must outsmart everyone, get undercover spies to help them, and must carry out their master plan named Operation Flush. He will do anything it takes to help his dad.

      This book was really good and full of humorous incidents. It was similar to Hoot since it was about saving the ecosystem but with different plots and funny new characters. I think that Carl Hiaasen did really well this time and I really like how everything flowed from one thing to the next and even when they had to explain things it was humorous and kept on moving. I only wish it was longer and I really dread when I had to turn to the last page. If Carl Hiaasen keeps up the good writing I’m going to have to read all of his books! This book is a good middle school book because it isn’t hard to read but it is very funny. High school students would also enjoy it although it doesn’t have high vocabulary words and since the plots are easy to understand, a high school student wouldn’t learn much from the book. Furthermore, adults would also enjoy reading this excellent book.
