INFINITY RING Cover Reveal! Jennifer Nielsen May 22, 2013

INFINITY RING Cover Reveal!

FIX THE PAST…SAVE THE FUTURE

In the fall of 2011, I got a phone call from Scholastic, asking if I was interested in a book series they were putting together. “History is broken,” they said, “and these breaks are leading to a coming Cataclysm in which the world will be destroyed. Three kids travel through time to fix the breaks and save the world.”

I was sold, just like that. I gushed out semi-incoherent sentences about how I minored in history in college – for no other reason than a love of history, by the way – and they answered that I could choose whatever “break” I wanted in time. It was like giving me a playground and telling me I could have any of the toys I wanted for my very own.

But there was more. “It’ll be a multi-platform series, in the vein of 39 CLUES,” they continued. “Six authors for seven books.”

Then the names came. The series architect and author of Books 1 and 7 would be James Dashner (MAZE RUNNER, THE EYE OF MINDS). Not only is he a fellow Utahan (Utahn? Person from Utah?…), but I was a longtime fan of his and knew anything he built would be brilliant.

The other authors on board includedΒ Carrie Ryan (THE FOREST OF HANDS AND TEETH),Β Lisa McMann (THE UNWANTEDS),Β Matt De La Pena (I WILL SAVE YOU), andΒ Matthew J. Kirby (CLOCKWORK THREE, THE LOST KINGDOM). Book 6 would be mine to write.

INFINITY RING AUTHORS

I cannot begin to describe my enthusiasm to work with these amazing and talented authors. Each has brought a new and brilliant dimension to the series. And as I’ve seen each manuscript roll out, full of adventure, exciting snippets from history, and laugh-out-loud humor, I have been even more determined to do my best work too.

So… with that, here is the cover for my book, Infinity Ring #6, BEHIND ENEMY LINES.

6_iRING_cover.indd

BEHIND ENEMY LINES takes our heroes, Dak, Sera, and Riq into the heart of World War 2 where they must Β help the allies succeed with a most dangerous spy plan that will either change the course of the war, or else destroy any hope for victory and freedom.

It will be released on November 26, 2013, and you can find out more about it here. Or learn more about the entire series and the very cool online games here.

And if you haven’t read the other books in the series yet, get started now. The first three books are already out and Book 4, CURSE OF THE ANCIENTS, is coming out on June 4th.

Click on any of the books below to learn how you can find a copy. Please support your indies first and keep on reading to the end – because Dashner is gonna deliver a finale that will knock kids off their feet!

    Something funny happened yesterday. I was on the swing and my dad called for my brother to get away from the bushes (again) but he used his middle name (which is Sage). Ever since I read The False Prince I’ve imagined what would happen if Sage (Jaron) appeared in my classroom. So when my dad said “Sage, come here” I nearly fell off my swing in an effort to see behind me. Then I remembered that it was just my brother. I couldn’t see myself but I imagine I looked very funny!
    From, Tori
    PS. Do you think Sage (or Jaron) could ever appear in my classroom?

    Hi Jennifer!
    I just wanted to thank you again for your brilliant books! In the past month, I’ve recommended The False Prince to 7 of my friends and they all loved it!! I even started a list for those of them who wanted to borrow book 2. Thank you again, this time from Jolie, Tania, Eliana, Bisaye, Hikari, Josee, and Molly. πŸ™‚

    Hello Ms. Nielsen so every shcoolyear we all get a list of books to read and then get tested on at the end of the year. Usauly the books are a bit hard for e to get through not because they arent well written just because I love reading so much I tend to judge Books. but this year THE FALSE PRINCE IS ON THE LIST and when I saw iit was there I literaly jumped up and down and told eveyone in my class how amazing The False Prince is . Then I proceeded to the libary where I told everyone there the joyus news. Yes I get very excited over my favorite series of books and in in The False Prince’s case I get extremly excited . Thank you for being a fanastic writer and sharing with us your talent.

    With echoes of Oliver Twist/the Prince and the Pauper, but also rocking a distinctive personality all of its own, the whole series is enchanting- I am absolutely in love with Sage/Jaron, who continues to become more developed and lovable as the story goes on. I nearly cried when the significance of Sage’s enigmatic golden rock was revealed in the first book! The second book was even better. I can’t wait to see how the characters and story will develop in the final installment!

      Wow, thank you very much! (And finishing can be tough, but at least you’re starting, right? That’s more than most people ever do. Keep going, and one day you will find the idea that makes you want to type “the end.”)

    How did you get the idea πŸ’‘ for your books to be in very historic places?

      Hi Cheryl – I’m a huge fan of history so my imagination spends a lot of time there, either literally working in that time period or using certain historical facts as inspiration.

      Hi Aaliyah – Stories have always been inside me, but reading “The Outsiders” by SE Hinton was the first time it occurred to me that maybe one day I could become an author too!
