The Adventures of Henry and Eulalie explores magic and science as complementary elements that take young readers on adventures between diverse worlds. Quantum physics explains the underlying mechanisms that make young Henry's wondrous journeys plausible.
We begin with 11-year-old Henry Harris seemingly passing out at baseball practice, only to learn that his consciousness has been bilocated back to his birth planet by three scientists, one of whom is his uncle.
Henry gets a brief explanation before being sent back to his Earth body. The boy learns of his unique origins as he travels through worlds of reason and science (Sun-Rhea), the land of his birth father (Donegal), and the many magical realms of the Wildlands, home of his birth mother (Mirabel) and his soon-to-be best friend, the fairy Eulalie.
Henry and Eulalie travel through the Land of Echoes, populated by ghosts and shades, to the Sky in the Lake, where they free Mirabel from her underwater prison.
The pair meet colorful characters such as the Tea Cup Lady, and Miles, an old country rabbit who lives in the no-man's land between worlds.
Henry and his friends face challenges on Earth, on Sun-Rhea, the Wildlands, and the various sub-worlds therein to ultimately face the evil Mocarsto in the Crystal Cave.
