Eric! by Chris Wormell

mehsi's review

2.0

A so-so book, I didn't really like how all the villagers treated Eric. It was just sad to say such things to a young child. Even if he did a lot of things wrong, no need to call him names.
The monster was cute (but also sad).

The story itself is a little too simplistic (everyone calls Eric names, when he faces the monster it turns out he was called names as well, so the two become friends) but it works for younger ones if you're looking for a book about name-calling. I found the narrator speaking directly to the reader at different points an interesting technique, so this could work as a mentor text for a writing exercise.
