The Adventures of Uncle Bill and Ross: Life Lessons Made Simple" is a beautifully written coming-of-age book by Solon Phillips. The story is based on everyday life experiences that can be relatable to both young people and adults. The adventures narrated in the book are not about Ross Miller flying through the air and battling pirates like an urban Peter Pan. Instead, they depict the adventures of real life as experienced by a thirteen-year-old boy who is an only child raised by his mother in a tough city neighborhood. The story revolves around Ross and his retired Uncle Billy coming together each day after school to share their daily life experiences. The bond between the two is enchanting, exemplifying and demonstrating the power of mentorship, defying the odds and love."

In The Adventures of Uncle Billy and Ross, Solon Phillips has conjured a magical world that speaks to young people and adults alike. Mind you, this is no swashbuckler. These adventures are not those of an urban Peter Pan, flying through the air and battling pirates. These are the adventures of life, real life. Thirteen-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. That might seem prosaic. But as these two engage head-on the issues and concerns of a boy coming of age, it is quite an adventure. They slay the dragons of what it means to feel poor and to have your name dragged in the mud. They 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. And they manage all this right in Uncle Billy's living room. That's what makes this book a tour de force; it deals with the everyday elements of our world. Phillips weaves a realistic dialogue between this wise man and this man-to-be; they laugh, they fight, they care, they love. They share a full range of emotions. They are you and me. And in each thoughtful chapter, another adventure helps Ross (and you and me) grow and deepen. Children of all ages who join this duo will have fun and mature at the same time. Through their adventures, Uncle Billy and Ross really do make life lessons simple. ---John T. Salatti

The Indians of the northwestern plains always laughed at the tales about Old-man, heard around the lodge fire in the wintertime after sunset. For a powerful character, he was comically flawed. Old-man made the world but sometimes forgot the names of things. Victim and victimizer, he seemed closer to common experience than the awesome god Manitou. Frank B. Linderman thought Old-man was, under different names, a god for many Indian communities. ø These stories?collected from Chippewa and Cree elders and first published in 1920?are full of wonder at the way things are. Why children lose their teeth, why eyesight fails with age, why dogs howl at night, why some animals wear camouflage?these and other mysteries, large and small, are made vividly sensible.
