Books like The Hunt for Dark Infinity

I was so right, this was even better than his first book The Journal of Curious Letters. I find I really appreciate the mid grade fantasy books based mostly in reality where the kids figure out mysteries and bravely fight in adult battles that span over a series of books. I discovered this with Harry Potter J.K. Rowling and it wasn't a single phenomenon, I like the Fablehaven series Brandon Mull and now the 13th reality series James Dashner is following in that same vein. This is all super exciting because I can only re-read Harry Potter so many times. Dashner definitely has his own spin on things and these books are more science-y. Also I like that he makes peoples parents big supports in their lives. In this volume, the main kids go on another adventure following clues while a plague of insanity starts taking over the realities. The threat was real and compelling, the villains developed layers, and schemes, and the heroes were flawed, human, and altruistic. All the things that you want in a book. This book had a great climax, but there were plenty of hints and starts left hanging, it will be exciting to see how the ends get wound into future books. I like the tight storytelling of young adult books and this is an excellent example of that, the only thing left is fitting all the pieces of the puzzle together and in this book we got a lot of pieces to weave into a larger story.
