Summary: Europe is in the grip of the Dark Ages, but there is a light in the dark: Baghdad. The great city has become a center of learning, populated by scholars, merchants, and explorers from all across the known world. But danger lurks in the desert ... and Dak, Sera, and Riq must act fast to save the world's greatest library from utter destruction.
Review: Dak, Sera and Riq have to travel through time to repair breaks, and this time they are transported to Baghdad in the year 1258, right before the Mongols destroy the city. Their goal this time is to save the book written by Aristotle about the Great Breaks, including the last Great Break.
This book was so full of adventure. While Dak is constantly giving out history facts (much to the annoyance of Sera and Riq), it does not seem overwhelming to readers and they may find it interesting. This is a great book for kids that like the 39 Clues series and even enjoyed the Magic Tree House books as kids. This book had a constant momentum that didn't let up throughout the entire book. I would highly recommend this book to anyone looking for a good adventure book.
I really enjoyed this series because you really do not have
to read the books in order. Each book is
a separate adventure that has some plot points tie together but are really not
necessary to understand the current book.
