In the book "Crossover" by Kwame Alexander, Josh does confront the issue and adapt to change at the climax of the story. Evidence to support this claim can be found in the way Josh handles a conflict with his father and learns to appreciate his relationship with his best friend.
When Josh's father has a health scare and is hospitalized, Josh is forced to confront his emotions and confront the issue of his strained relationship with him. Despite initially feeling angry and distant from his father, Josh eventually finds the courage to visit him in the hospital and express his feelings. This act of confrontation shows that Josh is willing to adapt to the changing circumstances in his life and work towards resolving conflicts.
Additionally, at the climax of the story, Josh's friendship with his best friend JB faces challenges as JB starts to prioritize his own interests over their shared passion for basketball. Instead of backing down and letting their friendship falter, Josh confronts JB about their drifting relationship and ultimately strengthens their bond by understanding JB's perspective and finding ways to support each other.
Overall, Josh's actions at the climax of "Crossover" demonstrate his ability to adapt to change, confront difficult issues, and ultimately grow as a character.
