Well the main characters in this book is Noah and Abbey. Their dad is in jail for sinking a ship called the Coral Queen .Paine (Noah and Abbey's father) believed that the ship was dumping sewage out into the open waters he couldn't do anything about it because he didn't have evidence, so his only choice was to sink the ship, that's why he is in jail. Then later they found out that Noah and Abbey decides to take matters into their own hands and goes out and tries to find evidence to get the ship shut down. Jasper Jr. was Dusty's son and a bully to Noah, continuously bullies Noah, giving him a black eye and spits on his face. Of course the boat was soon re opened and afloat. They wanted to get "Lice" (an old worker from the coral queen) to give a witness statement, but he wanted money. "Noah,I think I could help you." that's what Shelly(Lice's ex-fiancée) said to Noah. Lice soon went missing and Shelly believes that he was kidnapped because she found blood stains in her jeep. Meanwhile, Noah and Abbey are worrying about their mom because she was talking about getting a divorce, ever since Paine gotten himself arrested Dorra (Paine's wife) has been very angry. In the book it also mentions Pain'es dad Bobby who they say died in Colombia and they can't get his body home because there was a problem in the paperwork.I think that that's an important thing to know, maybe it is a twist in the story later.The part where I stop was when Paine escapes from jail and came home.
I thought the book had a lot of interesting plots and twists that keeps a readers a attention. I haven't read anything that I thought was funny yet.

Hmmm...from your summary it sounds like you are right - I saw more of a suspense story. However, your first quote does sound like there is humor in the novel. I think you should look at the novel again for more of that type of humor. It sounds dry. I would have to read a few pages to help you.
ReplyDeleteFor your next post, try to focus on the humor also, not just plot summary.
