Best part of story, including ending:
I really liked this story because it related to the environment. I wasn't big on it before, but once I hit college I began to become more active in my approach with it and I really think this book spoke volumes with me.
Best scene in story:
My favorite scene was when abby and noah dumped the fuchsia water down the toilet. I knew that idea would put the casino boat out of business and I got excited on what would be next in the chapters to come.
Opinion about the main character:
I like that Noah was passionate. I knew it would be hard for me to sneak on a boat to prove my fathers name, and It was cool to read through and see him break barriers to defend his own.
