Summary
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 to a hotdog stand where he meets a girl named Bethany, who not only knows the code to access the secret passageway in the stand, but also wants to come with him too. He arrives at Alypium, a one of the kingdoms of Olympia, a hidden world where old knowledge of the past is kept; Things in Olympia are amiss: their King Piter is hypnotized, and his castle lies on its side. When Erec tries on his mother’s glasses, he finds he can see her wherever she is. She is a prisoner of a king named Pluto. His only hope to rescue his mother is to find ingredients for a formula to blast her free. While searching for them, he enters contests to choose the next three rulers of Olympia. He has gained understanding of himself and his magical power, solved the mysteries, and is ready to embark on a quest to become king.
