Dak and Sera are best friends, and geniuses in their own right - Dak is a history buff and Sera the science ace. When Dak’s parents go away for vaction, Dak and Sera enter their laboratory where they find the Infinity Ring, a secret project that Dak’s parents were working on. When Sera figures out the missing link and finishes the work on the Infinity Ring, they gain the interest of a secret organization called the Hystorians who needs them to help fix breaks in history.

Dak, Sera and Raq (a teenage language pro) travel back in time to 1492 where they join Christopher Columbus on his journey. Dak, Sera and Raq must figure out what the break is and fix it before moving to the next break.

A Mutiny in Time is a quick read and I think it will open an appetite for history in young readers. It brings history alive and gives readers a taste of what life might have been like back then - imagine sailing on the the Niña, Pinta, and Santa María! I’m curious to see how the story unfolds and where in history Dak, Sera and Raq find themselves. I’m also curious to see the voice of each character across the different books, especially since they are written by different authors. Definitely a series to look out for!

Fun concept for a MG time travel adventure, but a little more explanation is needed to truly make it work. Also, would have been cooler if the break in history had more historical roots. ( )

What a cool plot idea! The characters were great, and the plot never lulled! ( )

There is a boy and there is a boy and there is a girl.The boy's parents invented a time machine. The time machine is called "The Infinity Ring." The parents got trapped in time.When they boy and the girl got they get take by the hystorians. Hystoriand try to fix things in the past.There is a Secret Sociey called the "Red warrder."
The "Red Warrioders" are controlled by a "Red lady." They benifit from the fanomian. In earch book they go back in time. In A Mutiny in Time the boy and the girl go back in time to columbus. In this timeline Columbus doesn't find America. Columbus gets thrownover board.The boy and the girl are the main character in A Mutiny in Time.

Overall, this was a really interesting story. I love history, as does my 9 year old who falls directly in the target demographic for this book.

I really looked forward to reading this because I absolutely loved James Dashner's Maze Runner series. I read this book in just a day and devoured the words. I really thought I would struggle because sometimes the middle grade reads are a bit slow for me but this was not the case here.

Infinity Ring: A Mutiny in Time is very different from anything else I have ever read. I love the fact that, after reading the book, it becomes interactive with an online component that really plays into the novels. This is overall a very well thought out concept and completely unique. I loved it. I played the game for only a few minutes, but I can see how it could totally suck you in, even if you aren't a middle-grade reader! Grownups love it too.

There were some very minor editing flaws, but nothing so glaring as to distract from the book. Overall, the story is well written, the characters are plausible, and I intend to read the remainder of the series as soon as I can get my hands on them.

Thanks to Scholastic for a review Copy. ( )
