Flush/Carl Hiaasen

Flush, by Carl Hiaasen, was a classic book. In genres, I would classify it as a "Kids saving the world book" which is a book that I know a lot of kids like, because it is about kids saving things. Kids often fantasize about saving the world, or even small little things, or somehow making a difference. This book would be the perfect book for that kind of kid.
Noah, and his sister, Abbey, have a problem: their dad suspects a local gambling boat to have been dumping it's sewage into the ocean--which is highly illegal. So, their dad sank the gambling boat--and now he's in jail. It's up to Abbey and Noah to make sure word gets out. However, it is hard to prove. Enlisting the help of an old teenager, Shelley, they buy 34 bottles of fuchsia food coloring, they sneak on to the Coral Queen and flush the entire 34 bottles of food coloring down into the holding tank. If he flushes over the side, then the dye will turn the ocean purple. However, when they motor away to shore, the engine of their dingy stalls. They get floated farther and farther away from shore---until their dad, recently out of jail, comes after them and saves them.
