Synopsis: "Cantville" is an inspiring tale of two towns separated by a huge mountain. As the reader follows the evolution of Cantville and Wecando and their people's hardships and successes, they
will be continually reminded about the importance of a positive attitude and the value of making good decisions.
Critique: "Cantville" is a unique and ultimately inspiring story that delivers useful messages in a non-confrontational and thoroughly 'reader friendly' by an author with a genuine flair for
originality, insights into the human condition, and an effective narrative storytelling style. While unreservedly recommended for community library Self-Help/Self-Improvement collections. It
should be noted for personal reading lists that "Cantville", is also readily available in a paperback edition (9781732747418, $15.99) and in a digital book format (Kindle, $8.99).

All good books seem to encounter that dark realm where the battle of good and evil must be fought. Often, those sides are chosen for us. Cantville and Wecando are two very opposite towns at the
base of the very same mountain. Cantville follows the hard hand it's been given. While on the other side of the mountain, those same conditions are met with optimism and hope at Wecando. Unaware
of each other, the two towns are brought together, and change is imminent. In life, we too, are prodded by circumstances. Which town do you hope to find yourself in? The choice is yours! (Ages
14+)
More CANTVILLE Reviews:
This is the last self-help/motivational book I need to buy. It's the only one that anybody needs.
I can't wait to share it with my friends and family!

Cantville is a parable of our times, an essential textbook for self-
management and a hopeful glimpse into our future. Joe Borelli's
book draws us into the fictitious world of Cantville, yet we
immediately recognize the parallels to our current real world. We've
given our power away to leaders, become steeped in pessimism
and lost our way. Cantville gives us a gentle wake-up call and a
roadmap back to our true potential. Reading Cantville reinforces
the power of positive thinking and conscious decision making.
Contained in this book are all the breadcrumbs needed to lead us
back to our original positive nature.
In the hands of young people, this simple story can instill
lifelong patterns, when it reaches adults it offers them a second
chance to change existing patterns and course correct. Joe Borelli
has ingeniously woven the most crucial life lessons into an easy to
understand and engaging story. Immediately after completing this
book I found myself automatically asking the powerful question, "Am
I from Cantville? Or am I from Wecando?"

Cantville is written in an enchanting way that grabs the attention of
both children and adults alike. It inspired my mindset and the way I
view the world around me.
