But after they discover a time machine called the Infinity Ring that’s being built by Dak’s parents, Dak and Sera decide to go for a test run with Dak’s parents into the 1700s.. against Dak’s parents’ wishes.. and also smack in the Revolutionary War. That’s when everything started going downhill. Unfortunately, when Dak and Sera finally learned how to return back to the present, Dak’s parents did not teleport with them – which meant that Dak’s parents were lost in history. And it was their job to get them back. It wasn’t long before they were kidnapped by the Historians, a secret society working against the devious SQ.

Kidnapped
By Robert Louis Stevenson
Ash
I am reading this as we speak it is a wonderful book and was very well written I had just purchased at the library this morning but I will say because Stevenson is from the united kingdom it was a bit hard to understand with hints of an Irish vocabulary
The Secret Life of Bees
By Sue Monk Kidd
"Place a beehive in my grave and let the honey soak through. When I'm dead and gone that's what I want from you." Singing songs like that is what Lily and her caregiver, Rosaleen, do when they run away from Lily's mean, uncaring father. Because this is set in the 1960's Rosaleen who is black gets put in jail. I think it's really exciting when Lily breaks her out. "I watched as the policeman put on his hat and walked down the corridor and out the door. When Rosaleen and I stepped from her room, I looked left, then right." This part seems really suspenseful and makes you want to keep reading to see what happens next. If you want to read a great book about beekeeping sisters, black Madonna and other funny adventures, I really recommend you read this book.

Soon the games began and Nickolai made his first move. Then Vika did, again and again the two used their turns untill a birthday ball was anouced for Pasha and he invited both Vika and Nickolai but he didn't know Nickolai was competing to kill her. The two enchantors met at the ball where they danced and became sort of friends if you could count nice people that have to kill the other who like to be friends and understood each other friends. Then all of a sudden tradgey struck and the crown was passed on to a new ruler and Nickolai got on the bad side of the new ruler. I highly recomend this book and I'm going to stop here because you have to read the book to find out how it ends. I know you probally want to know more but if I continue I will sort of spoil it and I don't want to do that. :)
