In this book, Eric wishes on his enchanted leaf to go under the bridge with the bats in Austin, Texas.  He finds a bat and makes friends with him.  The bat’s name is Echo.  Echo has Eric turn himself into a bat so Echo can teach him.

Echo takes Eric on a flight as a bat.  Eric learns that part of the legend of vampire bats is true: the part that tells us if a vampire bat bites you, you turn into a monster is fake.  But vampire bats do exist and they live in Central and South America. 

We learned that bats are not blind even though people think they are.  Bats use echolocation to help them see.  Bats are not dangerous.  They eat insects and moths.  This book, “Eric and the Enchanted Leaf: A Night with Echo.” helps show people that bats are nothing to be afraid of.
