Joshua’s Island by Patrick Hodges

Joshua is a thirteen year old school outcast. Eve is the newest cool kid, still getting use to her new found popularity. One chance decision by their teacher changes both of their lives forever.



I really didn’t anticipate on enjoying this book as much as I did. The age it was aimed at, and its storyline gave me some doubt, but I found myself eagerly turning page after page to find out what happened next. I loved being inside the minds of both Joshua and Eve, and seeing the world and each other through them. Seeing their strengths and weaknesses, and how friends and family can help you through the hard times.

When my son is in his early teens I will definitely be asking him to read this book. It reveals the damage that bullying does both mentally and physically to a victim, and how strong the temptation is to be accepted and popular no matter what the sacrifice.

Joshua’s Island is a must read for teens and parents. It shows how important it is to be a part of the solution, not the problem.

I give Joshua’s Island 5 stars! You can purchase it HERE on Amazon.
