Dashner, James, Infinity Ring: A Mutiny in Time. Scholastic Press, 2012. Pgs. 192. Language: G, Violence: PG, Sexual Content: G
Set in an America controlled by a government controlled by the SQ, this unknown, confusing world is beset by natural disasters and ultimate suppression. When Sera and Dak fix Dak’s parents’ time-traveling ring, they travel back in time with his parents. Along the way, however, the parents are losdt and Dak and Sera find themselves in the hands of the Hystorians. Soon they discover that a time-long battle has been going on between the SQ and the Hystorians. Every time history is changed in a way it’s not supposed to be, a Break is created. People then have what’s called a Remnant, a memory of something that never occurred or was lost. Before they can go back in time with a trained team of Hystorians to fix the Breaks in order to right history, the SQ attacks the Hystorians’ headquarters and history’s only hope lies with the two friends’ ability to fix it. The SQ is hot on Dak and Sera’s tail and time is running out. Can they find Dak’s parents, fix the breaks, and save history?
Although the book is very confusing at first, readers will be sucked into the time travel hero idea and appreciate the lovable characters and action-packed adventures. Fans of James Dashner and readers who like science fiction, adventure, and time travel books will enjoy reading this book and will be excited for the next one to come out in November. EL (4-6), MS. ADVISABLE. Reviewer: Kira M, Youth Services Librarian, WHI Public Library.
