Tween Tuesday Review: Divide and Conquer

**Tween Tuesday is a weekly meme hosted at GreenBeanTeenQueen to highlight great reads for tweens. Join the fun! **   

*Read my review of MUTINY IN TIME, the first in the Infinity Ring series*

Sera, Req, and Dak arrive in Paris...in 885. The Vikings are at the city walls, ready to attack. The Trio quickly scramble to figure out their mission to stop the SQ before Paris is under attack. 

However, before they can figure out too much, the leaders meet. They decided that they must save Paris from destruction, so they make sure the battle occurs.

The Vikings run towards the city while the Parisians hope their defenses will hold. Dak becomes lost in the shuffle and ends up on the Viking side, where he must join in the battle. He does what he can to stay alive, hoping that the others will finish the mission before the city's defenses crumble.

My Thoughts: I was a little confused in the beginning because I didn't remember the ending of the first book. I didn't remember the trio landing in Paris. However, that was the only glitch. I didn't feel this book read different than the first one, making it a seamless transition from James Dashner to Carrie Ryan. 

I loved learning about the Vikings and it made me want to research the era more thoroughly. I was as fascinated with them as Dak. How amazing it would be to live through something that would change the world's mind. I love the danger, the action, and the camaraderie during the battle. Tweens in my library will gobble up this new addition to the series.

Tween Tuesday Review: Infinity Ring

 * comes out August 28th *

Dak and Sara are best friends. Dak's a history geek and Sara loves anything science related. When they get the chance to break into Dak's parent's lab, they find a ring. The ring allows people to travel through time.

Sara realizes that the ring is broken. It takes her all day to fix the ring. When Dak's parents return, they're dumbfounded to learn the ring now works. After a quick test of the ring, they can't wait to use it to start fixing the breaks in history, the moments gone wrong that have changed the world.

Unfortunately, they are not the only ones with knowledge of the ring and SQ (the reason behind all the breaks in history) also desires the ring. Just as people are training Sara and Dak how to use the ring and fix the breaks, the SQ infiltrate the building. Sara and Dak have no choice but to use the ring, along with a language specialist. They end up in 1492, where a mutiny is about to take place aboard Columbus's ship. Can they fix the break? 

 My Thoughts: If you like the 39 Clues series - don't miss this book! It's got lots of action and danger! I like the nerdiness of both Dak and Sara. I'm loving how more and more books have smart characters who are proud of their brains. I like the dynamic between Dak and the language expert -they act like brothers and are quite amusing with their banter.


As a history buff, I love reading about histories and alternative histories. I find it fascinating to read how the course of history might have changed due to a mutiny abroad Columbus's ships. The perfect blend of danger, humor, history, nerdiness, and action made me devour this book. I know the tweens in my library will devour this book just as quickly as I did and will also be asking for more.
