The story centers around a young boy named Lee Renaud who embarks on a journey of scientific exploration and innovation in the realm of electricity and radio technology. Set in the impoverished village of King's Cove, the narrative not only chronicles Lee's personal achievements but also highlights the impact of his discoveries on the local community, particularly in the context of historical ignorance and superstition surrounding science. The opening of the book introduces us to Lee Renaud as he arrives in King’s Cove to help his great-uncle Gem, who is recovering from an injury. While exploring an old outhouse, Lee discovers a mysterious glass wheel that sparks his curiosity about electricity. Through discussions with Uncle Gem, Lee learns about the potential of this crystal wheel to generate power. As he begins to repair and understand this relic, the boys in the village initially mock him for his interests, but Lee's passion for experimentation leads him on an exciting path filled with challenges, where he navigates not only the mechanics of electricity but the social dynamics of a superstitious community. His commitment foreshadows the transformative adventures that lie ahead, not just for him but for the people around him who will share in his discoveries.
