The art of Auntieology and Uncleology is a sacred craft, but ten-year-old Leo has an Uncle Mo-a clueless stationery supply salesman with good intentions-who just doesn't get it. Yet.

The Secret Society of Aunts & Uncles is a madcap, magical adventure into the heart of what it means to have an aunt or uncle-how we learn to keep each other close and how we find love in the simplest things.

Jake Gyllenhaal and Greta Caruso paint a goofy, loving portrait of one of the most important relationships in children's lives in this funny and heartfelt romp of a picture book with witty and inventive illustrations by award-winning illustrator Dan Santat.

About the Author

Jake Gyllenhaal is an Academy Award- and Tony-nominated actor, producer, and, most importantly, uncle to Ramona and Gloria. He was born in Los Angeles and has been best friends with Greta Caruso (his coauthor) since they were kids.

Greta Caruso is the longtime niece of a small group of Hall-of-Famer aunts and uncles. (She is also an aspiring HoF aunt to Vincent.) A lifelong voracious reader-and entrepreneur and producer-Greta has loved writing this, her first book, with her best friend, Jake.
