Description:

Scholastic's next multi-platform mega-event begins here!

Dak, Sera, and Riq might be in over their heads when they attempt to stop a Viking invasion!Hundreds of ships carrying thousands of warriors are laying siege to medieval Paris. The Parisians are holding their own, but the stalemate can only last so long. And that's bad news -- especially since Dak has been captured, forced to work alongside the Vikings while Sera and Riq defend Paris from within. No matter which side wins, the kids lose!

From Booklist

It’s Viking-infested Paris, 885, in this second book by a second author in the Infinity Ring series (James Dashner’s Mutiny in Time, 2012). As self-identified science and history geeks Sera and Dak (“we must be dealing with some sort of hidden variable aspect to the quantum entanglement” and “every modern-day European monarch is descended from Bill Helm the Vanquisher,” respectively) travel through time with their linguist friend, Riq, to save the world from a still-mysterious evil organization. Many history-loving kids will be sucked in, while others will be hooked by the accompanying full-color poster-map (unseen) and corresponding 3-D online game. Grades 4-6. --Andrew Medlar
