What a great way to make history fun for kids and adults
alike! DIVIDE
AND CONQUER is a perfect blend of historical settings and
fast-paced
action.
Dak, Sera, and Riq are our brave main characters who find
themselves in
the middle of medieval Paris, where thousands of warriors
and their many
warships are threatening the city. Dak is captured and
things begin to go
horribly wrong. Meanwhile, Sara and Riq fight to survive
along side the
Parisians. Will the kids be okay and who will win the war?
When I first heard about this series and how each book would
be written by
a different author, I have to admit that I had my doubts
about how well that
would actually work out. Often, I get so attached to the way
certain authors
write with their individual styles and humor, that it's hard
to imagine
someone else continuing that story. But I think for this
series, it actually
worked out pretty well.
Carrie Ryan's writing style is highly enjoyable and I am
glad that she was
chosen as the author of the second book in the Infinity
Ring series.
I really loved this one and thought that the pacing was
excellent and the
action was mesmerizing. I'd recommend DIVIDE AND CONQUER for
middle-school aged kids
and up. DIVIDE AND CONQUER is a great read for fans of Percy
Jackson or A Series of Unfortunate
Events.
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!
