Dak, Sera and Riq land in medieval Europe during a confrontation between Viking forces and the city of Paris, and the second Infinity Ring book puts them on opposite sides of it.
Carrie Ryan builds the story around a simple, effective device: history has been broken, and three young travellers have to set it right without making things worse. Real events supply the backdrop while the plot stays firmly in adventure territory, so readers absorb period detail while following a chase. Chapters end at points designed to keep the book open.
Quick pointers:
• Second book in the Infinity Ring time-travel series
• Written by Carrie Ryan, set during a Viking siege of Paris
• History and fiction combined for middle-grade readers
• Works best read after the opening volume of the series
A good fit for middle-grade readers who like adventure with a historical setting, and for school libraries. Order it from Boipoka.
