The Infinite is a mind-bending, time-twisting adventure for readers who loved Time Travelling with a Hamster and A Wrinkle in Time. The first book in The Leap Cycle series
Reviews

I really wanted to like this book and I thought it was a great concept but I found it hard to read in places and the storyline didn't work.

Leaplings are rare but leaplings with the gift are even more rare. The gift is the ability to leap through time. The main character is Elle. Her name is a palindrome, which is when you read it backwards it is the same as when you read it from forwards. She received a SOS mesassge

I love reading magical books with people who have powers especially this book because some times I wish that I can go back in time too! As girl called Elle Bíbi-Imbelé Ifíè is born on on a leap year and has the power to leap into the future, and the past across time.When Elle is 3 leap she can leap on her own into the future to 2048. Her teacher Le Temps saw her leap 1hour and 59 seconds in time and tried convince Elle to work for him and take the DNA from leaplings and combined them with sheep and call them sheap!? But Elle friends come to save her, and put Le Temps in time-out. When she goes home all her friends come after and celebrate their birthday's. Elle was my favourite character. I recommend this book to people who like magical books.

This is about time travelling. It is interesting but is long. It is For older children about 9+.

This book was very interesting as I feel many of the emotions Elle feels in the same way. I recommend it to 8 to 12 year old children.

The person I liked the most was the grandma for reasons I just can't explain and I would definitely recommend it to someone else!

This book is about different leaplings (people who are born on 29th February) like Elle, going on a trip to Leap 2048 where Elle solves loads of crimes and reports unknown criminals to the police. I liked Elle the best because she is responsible but also she is good at sports and I am. I would recommend this book to children aged 7+. I think so because it will inspire other to be brave.

This was one of my favourite summer reads. I was immediately taken into this world. I connected with the main characters and I found the premise of ‘time travel’ really interesting even though this wasn’t something I would usually find of interest. I didn’t want it to end.

Lovely concept. Really liked the time traveling element. I was rreally interestedthat the main character was autistic. I thought the autism seemed very present in the first part of the book but it was mentioned and referred to less and less through the later part of the story and I couldn’t decide why this may be

It was really good towards the end, I enjoyed when they jumped back in time they got up to some really funny things! It was a fictional story, I liked Elle the best. I would recommend this book to someone else.

I really liked the fact that in this book, a lot of the names are palendromes. I find it very exiting that Elle can leap back and forward in time. It was also a very good idea of Patience Agrabi to think of Ama being here undercover to look for her missing brother and the fact that Noon disappears and her twin sister, Eve, sort of fills in for her. One of my favorite characters was season, as her name suited her job perfectly. This book is very good for people who care for the enviroment and it was cool to see some of the pradictions of what it would be like in the future. This book I would recomend to 7+ as some times I can imagine younger people strugling to understand. I rate this book 5/5!
