Join the new exciting adventure of Uncle Albert, the famous scientist, who explores the secrets of the microcosm together with his niece Alice Mind. Discover the basic components of matter, the eccentric world of quantum, the "two-faced" behavior of particles, the magical play of diffraction, the Uncertainty Principle.

Help Alice, the White Rabbit, and the Cheshire Cat explore the wonderful land of light and matter, where nothing is as it seems. Follow the crazy group of scientists, friends of Uncle Albert, who, during a meal, argue about the meaning of the quantum puzzles they have discovered. Nevertheless, even today scientists cannot agree on these puzzles!

So, who will solve them? Maybe you? just in case, be careful of the Queen of Cups, as she can take your head off before you say "cumin"! The story is full of action. It entertains readers—children and adults alike—and introduces them to the marvelous world of Quantum Mechanics.
