Vern Hobbs is a first time author although he is not a stranger to writing. His novel Flying Fish combines his knowledge of sailing, marine life and the trials of making a living on the water. He brings the characters of Juniper Key to life as they face difficult changes to their community. The characters come together to save their town and their way of life. It was a fun read that was enjoyed by our book club.

It was a great book which clearly depicted good vs evil and the good side winning - it also was a good example of being creative in order to save the community in which you live. The character were thought provoking as well as colorful.
