Many Waters (A Wrinkle in Time Quintet) |
Sandy and Dennys have always been the normal, run-of-the-mill ones in the extraodinary Murry family. They garden, make an occasional A in school, and play baseball. Nothing especially interesting has happened to the twins until they accidentally interrupt their father's experiment.
Then the two boys are thrown across time and space. They find themselves alone in the desert, where, if they believe in unicorns, they can find unicorns, and whether they believe or not, mammoths and manticores will find them.
The twins are rescued by Japheth, a man from the nearby oasis, but before he can bring them to safety, Dennys gets lost. Each boy is quickly embroiled in the conflicts of this time and place, whose populations includes winged seraphim, a few stray mythic beasts, perilous and beautiful nephilim, and small, long lived humans who consider Sandy and Dennys giants. The boys find they have more to do in the oasis than simply getting themselves home--they have to reunite an estranged father and son, but it won't be easy, especially when the son is named Noah and he's about to start building a boat in the desert.

More of the Murray's. This time completely centered on Sandy and Dennys, the twins who accidentally get themselves sent back to Noah 's time. Their time there includes lots of adventures, danger and love.
A good read for those who love L'Engle's other writings.
I have known this book fairly well since I first discovered it in the library. That was how I'd adventured through all the Quintet books too. After so many years, I jumped at the chance to own at least two of her books on my Kindle. I'm 60% of hte way to owning the whole series, since I have A Swiftly Tilting Planet on paperback. I'm glad to own some of the books thhat have walked me through adolesence. Madeleine L'Engle's words became my friends as Meg and Charles Wallace sojourned through worlds and their lives and Sandy and Dennys went back in time. It's been fun, for keeps.
