    AUTHOR STORY

    Joe & Sibella Giorello created Great Battles for Boys® to solve a problem in their own home: a son who didn't like to read.

    Joe grew up In a big Italian family in Queens, NY, fascinated by military history and the stories of veterans.

    That passion turned him into a lifelong reader, teacher, and decades later, he used it to spark the same love of reading in his own son.

    On a rescue mission for their family, their first book was just the beginning.

    Today, Joe writes full-time from the Arizona mountains, drawing on his background teaching military history and his deep respect for those who served.

    Sibella, an award-winning journalist and bestselling novelist, grew up in Alaska and once rode her motorcycle across the country. While homeschooling their sons, she saw firsthand how many boys struggled to connect with books.

    As the first editor of every title, her goal is simple: make every page exciting enough to capture an active boy's imagination--and help other moms to see their sons fall in love with reading, too.
