Hilarious, yet serious about the environmental issues * Guardian *
A gross-out plot likely to appeal . . . A satisfyingly different kind of adventure book for kids * Inis *
Aquatic high jinks in this entertaining ecological tale of responsibility and revenge * The Bookseller *
With real villainy and real right and wrong issues but told in convincingly involving, over the top manner * The School Librarian *
Flush is pacy and amusing. It will entertain readers with a sense of justice, a concern for the environment and an understanding that the simplest and whackiest ideas are often the best * Writeaway! *
