“Change In The Wind” by Mark Huebner is a very short novella that introduces readers to the Barton family and gives a sneak peek at the adventures that will soon become the family’s new normal. The story is narrated by Nat, the youngest Barton. One day, Nat’s parents came home from a church service and announced that they feel led to sell all they have, buy a boat and go into full-time ministry helping missionaries. Nat and his sister, Ruth, are quite shocked by their parents announcement. Through this first installment of the Barton Family Adventure Series, we learn how Nat and Ruth adjust to this new way of life through a series of suspenseful events…like getting kidnapped!

This was a short, fun book. To be honest, it kinda falls into the category of a self-published work that could use some professional help by an editor, but for 87 pages, it’s not so bad. The beginning of the story was a little slow, but once you made it to where the Bartons flew to Florida to look at the boat, the story picks up and finishes off with an exciting plot. I enjoyed it and will be moving on to read the next novella in the series.
