Scholastic's 'Infinity Ring' a Multimedia Ride Through History

Los Angeles Times

For young readers who are also gamers, 'The Infinity Ring' series from Scholastic offers a chance to interact with history. "The Infinity Ring" can be enjoyed for the action and adventure in its printed pages. But readers who decide to continue the journey online can do so with the help of a map tucked into the front cover, which guides them through the tale as one of the main characters in a role-playing video game.
