Book Reviews of Erec Rex: The Dragon's Eye (Erec Rex)
Book Review: Not just for kids
Summary: 5 Stars
Erec Rex is really fun - a 12-year-old boy with a glass eye is called to rescue his adopted mother and plunges into a magical world where the king has been hypnotized as part of an evil plot to take over the magical world as well as the "Upper World," where Muggles are called "Losers," since they lost their knowledge of magic. (Erec and his friend Bethany are branded with Ls on their foreheads until they become accustomed to magic - one of the funny, contemporary touches of Kingsley's style.)
There's courage and obstacles and magic and children, so it's being desperately packaged and marketed as the next Harry Potter. There's even a quote on the back from a senior editor at Writer's Digest saying, "Erec Rex is poised to take over Harry Potter's long reign." The publishers seem to have taken this to heart, hiring a British illustrator with cover and chapter designs a little too similar - even the damn fonts for each chapter title are the same as Harry's. It's a shame, because this book is more original than derivative (though purists will compare the ongoing competition to The Goblet of Fire's Triwizard Tournament). The ending suggests many sequels to follow.
Summary of Erec Rex: The Dragon's Eye (Erec Rex)
Enter Alypium, a hidden world within our own where old knowledge of magic is kept, and strange and fantastical creatures abound. It is a beautiful and mystical place, but things are caving in. The king is hypnotized, his castle turned on its side. The very Substance that holds our planet together has gone awry?and whispers tell of evil plans to destroy everything.Twelve year old Erec Rex has been yanked out of the world as we know it and thrown unwillingly into danger here. As he learns how to get by in this strange place, he discovers some truths about himself?and must learn the power of trust and love in order to save his mother, along with all of Alypium.
