I just finished my second book by Carl Hiassen. I enjoyed it just as much as Scat. There are many similarities between the two books. They both take place in Florida and deal with mysteries in the environment. The book starts with a boy vistiting his dad in jail. His dad was arrested for sinking a casino boat. He sunk the ship because he thought it was dumping human waste directly into the ocean. Noah and his sister set out to get proof and deal with some very interesting characters along the way. The characters have very interesting personalities that bring in subplots to the story. It is a funny mystery. The author has written many books for adults and three for kids. He writes a column for the Miami Herald. I enjoy his writing style but wish he would keep his kids' books a little cleaner in the language.
