It's Saturday morning, and the Mills family is heading out of town to visit Uncle Bill. But Alex doesn't want to go. The drive is way too long, there's nothing to do when they get there, and Uncle Bill never hears anything that anyone tells him! Uncle Bill's Hearing Humour takes a comedic look at the realities of aging and the ways in which kids can show compassion and respect for the elderly, especially for elderly family members. Alex learns to look at life's challenges in a new way, and to appreciate the family he has. Readers will grow and build character alongside Alex, while learning to see the value in treating others with kindness, respect, and dignity.
