Life is not easy for twelve-year-old Erec Rex. His single mother can barely support her six adopted kids. And they've moved into an apartment so tiny that Erec sleeps with the washing machine. Worse, there is a strange force within Erec that is making him do odd things. His urge to obey these thoughts grows -- until it becomes impossible to resist them.
Then one morning, Erec's mother is missing. The force inside Erec commands him to find her, leading him on an adventure that will change him forever. When he arrives in Alypium, a hidden world where old knowledge of magic is kept, Erec learns that his mother and the entire kingdom are in peril. And he might be the only one who can save them.
Stitchley's Rating:
This books falls in what I would call candy novels. It is easy to read, short, entertaining, but nothing very deep. It is perfect for early teens in my opinion. While it has the classic good vs evil it doesn't really have anything in it that a true evil would have. It is fun. It is one of the many books that have come out of the Harry Potter craze, but I enjoyed it all the same. It has action scenes and the words are a little to hard for little kids so probably a PG type of book for only that reason.
I do not recall any suggest situations or instances of swearing.
