FIGHT CRIME, ACROSS TIME!
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.
Leaplings, children born on the 29th of February, are very rare. Rarer still are Leaplings with The Gift - the ability to leap through time. Elle Bíbi-Imbelé Ifíè has The Gift, but she's never used it. Until now.
On her twelfth birthday, Elle and her best friend, Big Ben, travel to the Time Squad Centre in 2048. Elle has received a mysterious warning from the future. Other Leaplings are disappearing in time - and not everyone at the centre can be trusted.
Soon Elle's adventure becomes more than a race through time. It's a race against time. She must fight to save the world as she knows it - before it ceases to exist . . .
