Flush is a page-turner middle grade novel. It's an adventure on saving the environment, facing family struggles, and overcoming your bullies. It's an enjoyable read for an adult like me. But, I agree, with some of the reviews I've read that sometimes the book is too crass for children.2/5 starsI did not like this book because it was to predictable and easy. I did not enjoy it. xoxo,BebeI am going to give Hoot a try. I am probably not going to like it though.
I read Hoot by Hiaasen and absolutely loved it, so I was excited to continue on with Hiaasen's middle grade series and read this book. I didn't like Flush quite as much as Hoot, there just wasn't as much mystery. That being said it was still a very good and entertaining book; it touches heavily on environmentalism, corrupt business practice, and family issues.Noah Underwood's father has sunk a gambling ship and been thrown in jail. Noah's dad is positive that the gambling ship is emptying sewage

Instead of going fishing or spending quality time, Noah Underwood spends Fathers Day with his father Paine in the county jail. Paine is put in jail for sinking the
Flush is a very good book it shows what people could risk for animals and nature. The boy in this book has a Dad that has been in jail many times when he was trying to protect wildlife. Wach him take a step while his dad is in jail and to prove that his dad is right.
Carl Hiaasen once again has written a tremendous book for the entire family!Grandparents,Parents,kids and grandkids will enjoy this book. Very enjoyable and entertaining for all!
The Carl Hiaasen juvenile books are dream reads. Dream reads are those special books where you open the pages and fall into a story so convincingly real it's like you're standing next to the characters, smelling what they smell, seeing what they see, and feeling what they feel. Thank you, Mr. Hiaasen, for taking me to Florida and showing me a place I haven't been to since I was a boy.
