Official synopsis Publisher
¡Da un paseo por el pantano con esta aventura de misterio más vendida del New York Times ambientada en los Cayos de Florida de la mano del Newbery Honoree Carl Hiaasen!
Te das cuenta de que va a ser un verano difícil cuando pasas el Día del Padre visitando a tu papá en la cárcel. El padre de Noah está seguro de que el dueño del barco-casino Coral Queen está tirando desperdicios en las aguas del puerto, lo que ha hecho que darse un chapuzón en la playa local sea igual que nadar en un inodoro. Sin embargo, no puede comprobarlo, por lo que decide que hundir el barco será una declaración efectiva. Sí, claro. En pocos días sacaron el barco del agua, lo vaciaron y volvió a funcionar sin problemas, pero el padre de Noah sigue atrapado en el calabozo.
Ahora Noah está decidido a triunfar donde su padre falló. Demostrará, de alguna manera, que el Coral Queen está 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 borrachín 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 debería hundir el pequeño 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.
