Noah's Dad is in jail and his family's reaction is, "Oh, no, not again." It seems Dad is always getting into trouble for fighting with people who destroy the environment on the Florida coast. Dad is in jail for sinking the casino boat, the Coral Queen. He suspected them of illegally dumping their bilge tanks in the basin.
Noah and his sister Abbey set out to find proof that this is true with the hopes of getting Dad out of jail. Mom seriously considers the "D" word because she is tired being married to a jailbird - not to mention that half the town thinks her husband is a lunatic.
Flush is a charming, funny story dealing with very real environmental issues and people who care about keeping the world pollution free.
This book is the One Book Crossroads selection for 2009-2010.
