Henry, Black Lightning and the Rubber Band

About the Book

17-year-old Henry Wilson Worthington is an average teenager who could never guess what girls are thinking or convince his mother he is not ready for college... Not yet, anyway. But when Henry discovers he has the uncanny ability to read minds and induce thoughts, his plans for any conceivable future-- college or otherwise-- are swept aside: government agents from Area 51 recruit him into a Top Secret organization based in a quiet Westchester County, New York community. A simple suburban home is where Henry secretly meets mythical creatures, other "gifted" people and even an extra-terrestrial cat-dog creature who closely mentors him in the Arts of Magical and Mystical Science. But when a coven of evil witches seek vengeance and begin destroying the entire nation, Henry must overcome his fears and doubts to quickly master his mental might in the ultimate adventurous battle of science, magic and mayhem!
