🎯 Where Should I Start?
ⓘ About Joe Giorello
Joe’s youngest son did not like reading, unless the book was about military weapons, battles, or warriors. But he quickly read every single book that was written only for kids. Since Joe wanted his son to continue learning and reading, and since he himself is a long-time collector of military history, he began writing about various historic battles. He made sure each “chapter” was penned in language that any middle school age boy could comprehend and that the excitement of each battle would jump off the page. His son devoured each one of these stories, and he soon became a walking history book himself. Pretty quickly, other parents with sons that didn’t like to read asked for his notes. These same parents asked him to then teach a class.
