What is The Trouble With Uncle about?
Uncle is a real pirate, but his ship, treasure hunting and rough manners do not fit in at the smart yacht club. Determined to do things his own way, he starts a club of his own and sets off after a mysterious treasure map. His voyage leads to storms, angry whales, rival pirates and a surprising encounter beneath the sea. Amid all the chaos, Uncle discovers that treasure is not always gold—and that he may have found something much more precious.
