I really enjoyed this book. It was cute, quirky, and funny while still dealing with a serious environmental concern. Hiaasen creates likable, realistic characters that I was rooting for throughout the story. Hiaasen is one of my favorite writers because he doesn't shy away from issues of social responsibility, even in his YA novels.One caveat - as a teacher, I wish he had refrained from incorporating swear words and beer references. I will have it on my classroom shelf, but I am not sure I would want to read it aloud to my students. ( )

This book is a very good book for 6th graders. It has a ton of details and the student/ teacher will be able to fully understand this.

I've never actually read it but I think that it will be good. My best friend read it and said it was awesome, so I'm going to give it a try.

Book description

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0375821821, Hardcover)

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.
