Euell the Elemental Dragon With Europium Magic (Element 63 — Magical Elementals Chemistry Fantasy Series, Book 63) is a chemistry-themed fantasy adventure for middle-grade and YA readers, now paired with a ready-to-teach classroom lesson plan that turns the book into a full science and literacy unit.
On the magical world of MarBryn, someone is robbing the vaults of MarBryn City without leaving a trace. The only creature equipped to catch a thief this careful is Euell, a stout, purple elemental dragon whose every power is built on the real chemistry of europium — photoluminescence, neutron absorption, paramagnetism, superconductivity, and more. Euell doesn’t hoard gold like an ordinary dragon; he hoards banknotes, each one glowing faintly with a light only he can read. Across ten fast-moving chapters, he gathers a found-family crew — a banker-turned-reluctant-adventurer, a wind sylph scout, an inventor with rocket boots, and a raven who folds space to travel — and uncovers the decades-old injustice behind a magical bank heister no one has ever caught.
The included lesson plan makes this more than a story: it’s a turnkey, standards-aligned unit for grades 6–8 (flexible for grades 5–9) covering five class periods of reading, vocabulary, and hands-on chemistry demonstrations tied to the book’s own glossary. Teachers, homeschool parents, and librarians get discussion questions, a comprehension quiz, a vocabulary worksheet, a rubric-graded research project, and differentiation notes — built from real periodic table science, including europium’s role in banknote security ink, MRI contrast agents, and reactor control rods.
Perfect for young readers who love dragon fantasy books, elemental magic, and science-meets-fantasy adventure, and equally valuable for educators searching for STEM-integrated ELA curriculum, NGSS-aligned science fiction units, or chemistry lesson plans that don’t feel like a textbook. Fans of found-family quests, inventive world-building, and science-based magic systems will love the story; teachers looking for an engaging, no-prep way to teach real chemistry concepts through narrative will find a complete, classroom-ready resource in the companion lesson plan. Together, they make an ideal pairing for classroom novel studies, homeschool science blocks, and library STEM programming — for anyone who wants fantasy fiction and real-world chemistry to meet on the same page.
