The Adventures of Henry and Eulalie

Book excerpt: The second book in the exciting young adult series, The Adventures of Henry and Eulalie: Worlds Beyond, sees Henry and Eulalie further navigate the diverse worlds of Sun-Rhea, a land governed by reason and science, and the Wildlands, where magic and wonders abound. Henry’s unique ability to traverse these worlds allows him to battle a new evil that has been set loose on Earth. Along with Eulalie, his trusty fairy friend, and a colorful cast of characters, Henry must face new challenges to persuade Bif, a failed and mutated animorph, away from the cultish influence of Mr. Televangi, who seeks to further evolve his mind-control experiments on Earth’s malleable multitudes. Whereas the first installment in the series investigates the perils of groupthink, this second story illuminates the easy evils of the cult of the self, encouraging readers of all ages to instead seek balanced and enlightened thinking. This allows for resistance to both manipulation and vanity, to be neither tyrant nor pawn in our collective quest.
