Flush, Carl Hiiasen, Elya

This book is about a boy and his family. His dad looses his temper some times, and gets himself into trouble. This particular time, he sinks a boat because he claims that the boss is flushing the toilet crap into the ocean, instead of depositing it in the dump. There is this whole rush of newspaper articles, and T.V shows, about this, and he two kids, Abbey and Noah, find a way to help out. Every year the family gets a letter, saying that their Grandpa's coffin is still not abled to be transported to Florida. Whenever the kids need help, this strange old pirate guy comes to the rescue. He always appears out of nowhere. Noah befriends this woman, Shelly, who works at the boat, (which was restored. I forgot to say, it is a casino boat, gamblers, drunks, all that kinda stuff) who says that she can help them out. They have a plan, that includes flushing a lot of coloring down the toilet, and with Shelly's help, they get it done. The whole thing is cleared up, when the old pirate's identity is revealed.

This is a great book, and I did a horrible job of summarizing it, but I have a feeling that it will all clear up eventually.
