Flush
Noah's dad is sure that the owner of the Coral Queen casino boat is flushing raw sewage into the harbor. 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 stuck in the clink but Noah is determined to succeed where his dad failed.
Hoot
Roy Eberhardt is the new kid--again. Same old routine: table by himself at lunch, no real friends, and thick-headed bullies like Dana Matherson. But if he had never met Dana, he might never have discovered the burrowing owls living in the lot on the corner of East Oriole Avenue. And if he had never discovered the owls, he probably would have missed out on the adventure of a lifetime.

Chaz Perrone doctors water samples so that a ruthless agribusiness tycoon can continue illegally dumping fertilizer into the endangered Everglades. When Chaz suspects that his wife, Joey, has figured out his scam, he pushes her overboard from a cruise liner into the night-dark Atlantic. Unfortunately for Chaz, his wife doesn't die in the fall.
