Annotation: Noah's dad gets jailed for trying to sink a ship that was illegally polluting the waters. Noah is determined to follow in his dad's footsteps successfully to make the Coral Queen (the ship that was polluting the waters) disappear for good with help from his sister and a friend.
Summary: When Noah's dad gets sent to jail for sinking a boat that was polluting the waters, Noah decides to fight back to save those fishes! He teams up with Shelly, Lice, and his sister Abby to stop the polluting ship once and for all. Along the way, they find trouble but a mysterious person turns up to help them. Who is the person? And will Noah's plan work or will it go down the drain?
Critique: I liked this book because Noah did everything he could to prevent the boat from polluting the waters. He was determined and I think it is a good character trait to have. There was also mystery in mixed in the book. The bad part was that there was excitement then no excitement then excitement again. Noah was adventurous and hard working so it made him a great character to have in the book. Abby, his sister, was also cute because even though she was a girl, she was strong both physically and mentally.
Biography: In his thrilling and hilarious mysteries, Carl Hiaasen does for the Florida Coast what Raymond Chandler did for L.A., embracing it in all its steamy surrealness, and elevating it to a kind of iconographic literary landscape.
