I started this series three years ago, when it first came out. Since then, my reading style has changed drastically. Now, I find the writing style, names of super heroes, and characters to be a little immature and at times a little dumb. Though, I still like the combination of narrative and comic, and the nostalgia will always be there.

Boots features the last of the three girls, Mae, who brings her friends Josie and Akiko along on a visit to her two aunts, Black pilots Willa Brown and Janet Harmon, when they learn Nazi spies are going to attack Chicago. But the pilots are kidnapped by henchmen of the newest and most powerful villain, the Metallic Falcon. The kidnapping launches the three super-powered girls on a new mission -- to get to the Eiffel Tower in Paris, France, to rescue all the other super heroes that've gone missing before it's too late.
They manage to smuggle a ride across the Atlantic and meet two new teen-aged super-heroes, the Parisian Light and Golden Lion (who's British) in their first full-pitched battle with the Falcon. The Infinity Trinity, however, loses their super powers, just like all the other super heroes did.
But that won't stop the girls. In fact, it gives them the advantage of surprise, because the Falcon's not looking for three teens, he's looking for three super heroes. And they manage to sneak behind enemy lines to find the rest of the super heroes.
I won't spoil how it ends. This was a great ending to the trilogy, and we loved the comic-book pages, by Patrick Spaziante.
Enjoy!

Middle grade adventure/ alternative historical fiction; third in a trilogy. This book dives right back into the action with our young superhero trio The Infinity Trinity going to Chicago where Mae's aunts are. Both of Mae's aunts are pilots, though they can't officially be part of the war effort due to being both Black and female. Mae also surprises Akiko and Josie when she informs them she has been taking flying lessons from her aunts. The girls get involved in a spy plot that is targeting the city and soon find the supervillain Metallic Falcon is involved. After the battle they intercept a coded message leading them to believe their beloved superheroes are being held captive in Paris. Determined to help in any way they can, they stowaway on an overseas flight to London. Once there they have to figure out how to get to Paris, how to help the heroes, and how to defeat Metallic Falcon.
Like the first two books, this story combines real historical people and events with the superhero plots. This book would not stand as well on its own because this dynamic is already established. I enjoyed reading more about WWII, some of the unsung women heroes, and these characters. It was also interesting to read the scenes set in London while it was under heavy bombing. A satosfying end to the series.
