Joshua's children's book, "The Character Club" is a story that teaches life lessons through a child's point of view. The characters in this book exhibit traits that we should all possess on a daily basis. Elements of both realistic fiction and fantasy are present throughout the entire book, which creates both an engaging and educational story for readers of all ages. This title is the perfect addition to any character education curriculum." -Kathryn Starke, Urban Literacy Specialist, Author, Founder of Creative Minds Publications, LLC
