Editorial Reviews

Praise for Infinity Ring Book 1: A Mutiny in Time

"Tight plotting, snappy dialogue . . . the story moves at a breathless pace." —Rick Riordan, The New York Times

"Scholastic's 'Infinity Ring' is a multimedia ride through history." —The Los Angeles Times

From the Publisher

Dion Graham’s rich and varied range of voices creates an animated performance in the second installment of the Infinity Ring series. In this time-travel tale, 11-year-old Sera and her friends, Dak and Riq, are using the infinity ring to correct major events in history. Here they find themselves in medieval France. Graham embodies Sera with an unwavering voice of authority—except for moments when her attraction to Billfrith slips through. Graham switches easily between the accents of the French and the Vikings. His dynamic pacing conveys the children’s fear and desperation to regroup and get to another time period, especially when Dak finds himself captured by the Vikings, who are preparing to attack Paris.

Vikings and time machines, together again. "History is broken," a character said, back in the first Infinity Ring title (A Mutiny in Time, 2012). He might have said that spelling is broken. The main characters in the series are named Riq, Sera and Dak, and they work with the Hystorians to fix the timeline. Like all good fantasy series, these books come with a vocabulary list. The time travelers have to look out for the Breaks, the Remnants and the SQ. Readers who skipped the first book may never make sense of the jargon, but they really need to know only one fact: The SQ is an evil organization. It wants to take over the world. In fact, it wants to have taken over the world millennia ago. Now, in Volume 2, the best way for our heroes to defeat the SQ is to join a Viking war. They jump into the fight without being certain they're on the right side. This is typical of the logic in the book, and readers may enjoy the story just because it makes them feel smarter than the main characters. The book is a perfectly competent adventure story. It's hard to go wrong with Vikings. But if you asked a classroom full of students to write about a Viking and a time machine, most of them would come up with something more inventive. (Science fiction. 8-12)
