Sinopsis

In The Adventures of Uncle Billy and Ross, Solon Phillips has conjured a magical world that speaks to young people and adults alike.áMind you, this is no swashbuckler.áThese adventures are not those of an urban Peter Pan, flying through the air and battling pirates.áThese are the adventures of life, real life.áThirteen-year-old Ross Miller, an only child being raised by his mom in a tough city neighborhood, and his retired Uncle Billy come together each day after school.áThat might seem prosaic.áBut as these two engage head-on the issues and concerns of a boy coming of age, it is quite an adventure.áThey slay the dragons of what it means to feel poor and to have your name dragged in the mud.áThey take on the quests of taking control of your world just by using your own thoughts, choosing your friends wisely, transforming a situation by transforming your attitude, and more.ááAnd they manage all this right in Uncle BillyâÇÖs living room.áThatâÇÖs what makes this book a tour de force, it deals with the everyday elements of our world.áPhillips weaves a realistic dialogue between this wise man and this man-to-be, they laugh, they fight, they care, they love.áThey share a full range of emotions.áThey are you and me.áAnd in each thoughtful chapter, another adventure helps Ross (and you and me) grow and deepen.áChildren of all ages who join this duo will have fun and mature at the same time.áThrough their adventures, Uncle Billy and Ross really do make life lessons simple.---John T. Salatti
