Erec Rex: The Dragon's Eye Magically Delicious By harleyquinn on Jan 16, 2008 - Updated Oct 15, 2011

As a children's librarian Erec Rex is one of my favorite books to recommend to Harry Potter fans young and old. The book can be enjoyed by reader's 8 and up, but will probably appeal most to ages 10 and up.

Erec is a somewhat like Harry Potter: he doesn't know much about his parents and weird things seem to happen to him. We meet Erec when he is 12 and first discovers a magical world that exists that normal people don't know about. So far sounds almost like a Harry Potter rip off.

What stands out about this book are the great characters, exciting plot twists and turns, and all the things that are so different from Harry Potter. I have been known to say that I like this first Erec Rex book better than I liked the first Harry Potter book. It is a lot more exciting.

The second book has already been released and this librarian will hope for many, many more to come.
