Paraphrase "Flush"

Noah and Abbey’s father is in jail for sinking a casino boat that he claims has been dumping raw sewage into the waters near their home in the Florida keys. He has no proof, the owner of the boat denies it, and everyone in town thinks he’s a crackpot. Their mother is going to divorce him unless he shapes up and gets his anger and impulsive behavior under control. So it’s up to Noah and Abbey to prove that their father was right. But with everyone mad at their father, hired goons guarding the refloated boat, members of local law enforcement paid off by the owner, and the owner’s son beating up on Noah, getting that proof looks well-nigh impossible. That is, until Noah comes up with a plan that involves a tattooed barmaid, a stolen motorboat, and thirty-four bottles of fuschia food coloring.  This book it like brings people to the real world. It make the people who read this book pay more attention to the environmental issues. What I learned from this book is that it just comes to show and yoy can prove to the world something that no one believes in. It's through the hard work that people put and a will to do so that is stronger than just belief.

  1. Yes, but sometimes we have to think through unlikely circumstances and come up with creative solutions. It would have been easier for Noah just to let the adults handle things, but he doesn't and it pays off in the end. Sometimes even kids should trust themselves- you know a lot and can accomplish a lot! This sounds like a fun book and it seems you liked it, Linh. Nice job!
