Flush (ed)

The verdict is in! Flush, by Carl Hiaasen has been voted off the Island. Possibly a book about raw sewage didn't appeal to our readers? But it's more than that. Flush is a quirky story about two kids who try to save the harbor from a casino boat that is dumping... you know what into the water. They also have to save their father who is in jail for sinking a river boat.
