This book begins with Tick, Paul, and Sofia getting a message from Master George that the realities are in danger.
He tells them that they need to meet with others to decide what must be done. Instead of going to Master George, as they should have, they are sent to another reality all together. They believe that Master George has sent them on a series of tests in different realities with deadly traps all around them.
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 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.

5.0 out of 5 starsFantastic!3 Mar 2009
By Heather Moore - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Hardcover
"The boy stared at his world gone mad."--begins the second book of the bestselling 13th Reality series: The Hunt for Dark Infinity. The malicious Reginald Chu has devised a way to infiltrate the minds of people and creatures alike--controlling their thoughts, speech and actions.
New Realitants, Tick, Sophia, and Paul, must find a way to penetrate Chu's destructive creation before he gains control over all the Realities. But they are at the mercy of Chu's test--as they are winked from one reality to another--forced to decode strange messages and battle deadly creatures in order to save their own lives.
From a distance, Master George can provide aid when it's most needed--but even he can't stop the events from unfolding. For he knows that Tick needs to make whatever sacrifice necessary to stop Chu from succeeding.
From the first sentence to the last, Dark Infinity will propel you through fantastic Realities, spin you against another adventure just as you're ready to take a breath, then deposit you in the middle of one of the most clever twists I've read in years.
