Describe Noah Underwood?

Noah Underwood lives in the Florida Keys. He enjoys the outdoors; fishing, swimming and boating in the marinas and beaches around his small town. Noah lives with his parents and younger sister and has a fairly carefree life until his father is arrested and jailed for sinking the Coral Queen, a gambling boat that is moored in a nearby marina. Noah is conflicted and confused when he visits his father in the jail. He wants to support his father but he doesn't fully understand his actions.

Noah tries to keep peace between his father and his mother who is upset and on the verge of filing for divorce over her husband's behavior. Noah learns that his father sunk the boat because it was illegally dumping its sewage—including human waste—into the pristine waters of the marina. When Noah realizes the full extent of the damage that this dumping causes to humans and animals alike, he is on board with his father.
