While the story itself is an adventurous one, there are hints and suggestions about a bigger story. Tick's growing powers, Mistress' Jane's change, and Sato's growing trust in the Realitants all suggest that there are more interesting and complex storylines to come.

I enjoyed this one ore than the first one lit got very dark and very unnerving for a book I feel is for 5th or 6th graders , but it was really captivating with the virus.

Mr. Chu, from the Fourth Reality, is working on a new weapon called Dark Infinity, and Tick is in a race against Mistress Jane to find it first.

Before I started this book I wondered if I should read the first in this series, THE JOURNAL OF CURIOUS LETTERS. I can tell show more you that although it would help to get to know the characters by reading the first book, it didn't seem necessary. It was very easy for me to figure out what was going on.

I enjoyed this book very much, although it may be a bit long for the younger kids (8-10). THE HUNT FOR DARK INFINITY was well-written with an engaging storyline. I really liked the main characters, and it was enjoyable getting to know them.

I am eagerly awaiting the next story in this series. James Dashner is a gifted storyteller and will definitely keep everyone interested. show less
