From the publisher:
Da un paseo por el pantano con esta aventura de misterio, de la mano del Newbery Honoree Carl Hiaasen! Un bestseller del New York Times ambientado en los Cayos de Florida. Te das cuenta de que va a ser un verano dificil cuando pasas el Dia del Padre visitando a tu papa en la carcel. El padre de Noah esta seguro de que el dueno del barco-casino Coral Queen esta tirando desperdicios en las aguas del puerto, lo que ha hecho que darse un chapuzon en la playa local sea igual que nadar en un inodoro. Sin embargo, no puede comprobarlo, por lo que decide que hundir el barco sera una declaracion efectiva. Si, claro. En pocos dias sacaron el barco del agua, lo vaciaron y volvio a funcionar sin problemas, pero el padre de Noah sigue atrapado en el calabozo. Ahora Noah esta decidido a triunfar donde su padre fallo. Demostrara, de alguna manera, que el Coral Queen esta vaciando su tanque de desperdicios ilegalmente. Es posible que sus aliados no aporten mucho: su hermana Abbey, que ha mordido desde la infancia y no se ha podido corregir; el Piojo Peeking, un borrachin codicioso con poca higiene; Shelly, una cantinera despechada; y un pirata misterioso... Pero Noah tiene un plan para sacar a la luz al villano. Un plan que deberia hundir el pequeno casino deshonesto de una vez y por todas. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION Take a romp in the swamp with this New York Times bestselling mystery adventure set in the Florida Keys from Newbery Honoree Carl Hiaasen! Noah's dad is sure that the owner of the Coral Queen casino boat is flushing raw sewage into the harbor--which has made taking a dip at the local beach like swimming in a toilet. He can't prove it though, and so he decides that sinking the boat will make an effective statement. Right. The boat is pumped out and back in business within days and Noah's dad is in the local lock-up. Now Noah is determined to succeed where his dad failed. He will prove that the Coral Queen is dumping illegally . . . somehow. "The writing is pitch perfect." --The New York Times "A royal flush." --Chicago Sun-Times "Classic Hiaasen--laugh-out-loud satire in a Florida setting." --Life
