Text Box: I'm not sorry for what I did, Noah. The only thing I'm sorry about is that you've got to see me locked up like an ax murderer." Imagine if your father was thought of as a crazy hooligan that needed a psychiatrist! Not just by your mother, an environmental lawyer, or your sister, but by all the people in your community! Paine Underwood, Noah's dad, is held captive in prison for sinking the notorious Dusty Muleman's casino boat, the Coral Queen. His reason: The Coral Queen dumps it's "sewage" into the water, polluting marine wildlife. You might think, well that's just stupid! But when it comes to the environment, Paine Underwood takes serious measures to help! His drastic deeds land him in the local jail, and he can do nothing to prevent Dusty from repairing the sunken boat. Which is why he asks Noah to complete the job. With school, bullies, and the divorce of his parents, now Noah has a handful of problems to take care after. How will he manage to save the divorce, protect himself, and "flush" Dusty Muleman scheme out??? The book is filled with cliff-hangers and suspense-it's sure to keep you up wondering about the outcome! If you are a mystery fanatic-this is the book for you.
